Assailant Shooting (and More)

Sergeant stabbed numerous times in the face:

• Chicago police officers shot and killed a man moments after he stabbed a supervisor in the face in the Rosemoor neighborhood, according to authorities
  
  The sergeant, 46, is in serious condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center. His wounds are not life threatening, according to the Chicago Police Departent.
  
  The supervisor and two other officers responded to a call from a woman reporting a man with a knife in a home in the 200 block of East 107th Street on the Far South Side about 10:25 p.m. Tuesday, according to Patrick Camden, spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police.
  
  They forced entry into the home after hearing a woman scream and the sergeant, who was first to enter, was stabbed several times in the face. A statement from the Chicago Police Department identified the sergeant as a 19-year veteran assigned to the Calumet Police District on the Far South Side.
  
  The other two officers pulled the sergeant back outside and the suspect was able to barricade himself in the home, Camden said.
  
  After calling for an ambulance, the two officers, who smelled gas and kicked in some basement windows to ventilate the building, re-entered the home and found the suspect downstairs near a furnace. Camden said the man charged at them with the knife and the officers shot the suspect, who was dead at the scene.

Very very well done Officers. Definitely above and beyond. Hopefully, the sergeant is doing better - speedy recovery to him.

We also missed these from two days ago - it isn't even safe to work a side job at a church:

• A Northwest Side haunted house had some scares it didn't plan for this weekend when several people were arrested for disorderly conduct, and one for punching an off-duty police officer in the face, county prosecutors said.
  
  Two people charged with crimes were brought through the Cook County Criminal Courthouse Monday afternoon after being arrested at the "Catacombs," a haunted house at Saint Pascal in Portage Park.
  
  Noelle Siewarine, 19, was charged with aggravated battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest after she allegedly spit on a police officer's face while he was arresting her boyfriend for disorderly conduct on Sunday afternoon.
  
  According to the police report, Siewarine was shouting "[bleep] you police," at officers and other haunted house patrons while standing in line and making obscene gestures.
  
  Siewarine was released on a $10,000 I-bond with electronic home monitoring by Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr., who said, "You don't get to go around spitting in the face of police officers and get to just walk out of jail."

And at the same location just a day earlier:

• One day earlier, Carlos Rivera, 25, was arrested and charged with aggravated battery to a police officer after he allegedly punched an off-duty officer working security at the haunted house in the face.
  
  Rivera, of the 3000 block of North Karlov Avenue, was with his wife and children when the victim, in his capacity as security guard, tried to escort the wife off the premise for disorderly conduct, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said the wife appeared to be intoxicated and was behaving disruptively.
  
  Rivera punched the man in the face once, according to court records, and then several times again after the man identified himself as an off-duty officer. The 28-year-old man was treated for a fractured skull and other injuries at the Resurrection North Hospital.

Work a side job, probably mostly as a favor to your local parish, get a fractured skull. Speedy recovery to the Officer. Saint Pascal's is where the Cardinal came from if we aren't mistaken. Looks like Portage Park is emblematic of the problems surfacing across 016.
