Assailant Killed in 005

All police are OK:

• Chicago Police killed a man in his 20s and shot at another after the men allegedly pointed handguns at officers responding to a Roseland neighborhood block party Friday night.

  The shootings took place in the 200 block of West 110th Street, police spokeswoman Amina Greer said.

  Greer said no officers appeared to have been injured, but Independent Police Review Authority spokesman Larry Merritt said the man was fatally shot by police.

  The incident happened after 9:30 p.m., when the two armed men showed up uninvited to a large block party, Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said.

  Both men allegedly took off running after party-goers called 911 and pointed the men out to responding officers, Camden said.

  An officer chasing one of the suspects on foot fired but missed after the man turned and pointed a handgun at him, Camden said. That suspect was taken into custody uninjured.

  Another officer in a police vehicle drove after the second suspect, then continued chasing him on foot. That suspect, a man in his 20s, also allegedly pointed a handgun at the officer, who then fatally shot him, officials said.

  “It’s a pretty simple equation. You point a gun at an officer, he’s gonna defend himself,” Camden said. He said both officers announced themselves as police before the suspects pointed guns at them.

Now before grandmama and the three or four mothers of the dead thug's unborn children start squawking about how the police gunned down the former altar boy who was just about to turn his life around by filling the Lil Jojo vacancy, notice how the article states "police were responding to" a call from party-goers AND the suspects were pointed out by the same party-goers." The police had little if any reason to be there until called, so once the wailing starts up, remember how the police ended up there.
