Off Duty Shoots Home Invader
- Two people are in custody after an off-duty Chicago Police officer shot one of three men who tried to break into his home Friday afternoon in the Far South Side Roseland neighborhood, police said.
The officer was at home in the 9600 block of South Princeton Avenue about noon when the suspects tried to break in, police News Affairs said in a statement.
After one suspect pointed a handgun at the officer, the officer, fearing for his life, fired at him, police said. Two of the men, including the one who was shot, fled in a stolen vehicle, but were halted near 89th Street and Yale Avenue and arrested.
His 7-year-old daughter was home with him. Nicely done Officer.

Nicely done indeed. Protected himself and, more importantly, his family. However, I can't stop myself from thinking why him and his family live on the 9600 blk of south Princeton. Now I know I'm gonna hear, "he should be able to live wherever he wants". That's true. Then again, we don't live in fantasy land. What's more important? Your vested interest in a decayed and rotten "community" or the safety of your children? If the latter, then there are quite a few other neighborhoods in Chicago where the risk to your family is quite a bit lower. Just sayin'.
Home invaders are getting bold. Breaking in during broad daylight, and a cop no less. Obviously three of the very few that did not get the word that crime is now a no-no in Chicagoland. There is a new top cop in town and he is on the job.
Currently no comment by G-Mac. I'm sure he'll say that his CompStat report shows crime is at an all-time low.
God Bless our Brother and his family, they are safe tonight!
Glad the officer and his daughter are OK. Hope she isn't scarred by this event. I can't imagine what it would feel like but in any rate the officer did a great job saving his life and the life of his daughter. Take a few days off on me.
crime is down, this is not true please repost the truth that nothing really happened.
Thank god officer and child are ok...I hate stories like these cause its ashamed what a screwed up society we've become when offenders don't care who's home or not and what time of the day it is..."f them" take care of yourself s officers and your families and neighbors. ..cause next time it can be you or your relatives going through this...be vigilant be involved and let these assholes know were watching and were gonna do something about it! Good luck officer and enjoy, you've been lucky to live another day with your child and family...
And that, people, is why I sleep with my .25 under the pillow!!

Staying on topic... THE most important part of this post is that dad and daughter are doing fine.
Nice job dad!
The outcome could of been much worse ~ look at poor retired Sgt Elmer Brown who was shot in another home invasion....
Time to lift residency. Tired of hearing abour property values. I'll take a little loss to get out of the $10,000 a year catholic school costs.
Our worst nightmare come true. Thank G-d the officer and his daughter were not harmed.
This is how I see it. The big push is for what? CONTACT CARDS. Now .it takes up to 10 minutes to complete a contact card. The wonderfulls want at least 2 a day or more. If thats all a copper does all day that leaves little time to patrol for real crime. Hence the typical city of chicago smoke and mirrors...crime is down.
This incident could have taken place ANYWHERE.
Please officers, don't delude yourselves into believing because most of you reside in 022 and 016 that it can't/won't happen to you or YOUR family.
Don't worry Crime is Down !
Why did this happen? Because we are forced to live in the same shithole we work in. If there were no residence requirement the officer could be living in a small town where crime is really down. On top of that the fucking media plasters all over the broadcast his occupation, his house, and the address further putting the officer and family safety at risk. Officer I think you have a pretty good case to present in court challenging the residency rule. Last point, if our union has the slightest inclination on bargaining on our pension ie; higher contribution, colas, later retirement age, etc... You better have the residency rule rescinded as part of the deal. God I hate living in this hell whole!
It isn't even Summer, yet some asshole went out and got himself some free air-conditioning...!
Nicely done, officer!
Why didn't he just call 911 and wait down the street?
The cop is from 007 and so are the bad guys. Did they intend to target a police officer and somehow found out where he lives. why go to 005 to break into a home.
Then again, we don't live in fantasy land. What's more important? Your vested interest in a decayed and rotten "community" or the safety of your children? If the latter, then there are quite a few other neighborhoods in Chicago where the risk to your family is quite a bit lower. Just sayin'.

This is a shit thing to say. Should the late Sgt. Elmer Brown have not lived where he lived? Tom Wortham? Officer Bailey? Tell me where this brave officer should live? Englewood? Pullman? West Beverly? Mt. Greenwood? Sauganash? Hegewisch? The East side. Pick any of those neighborhoods and tell me where burglars, home invaders, thieves and rip off artists don't prey on people.
Open your eyes buddy. Whe you run from the emeny, you embolden the enemy.
nicely done
is it me or is there a pattern here? i've noticed an increase in police shootings and home invasions over the past few weeks.
Has anyone noticed a rise in HI to officer's homes? I remember a while back our seniority lists being found in the home of a POS. Wthe transparent city listing of all our names and a quick Zaba search etc, maybe these idiots are specifically targeting our homes.
Be safe all and train your spouse to fire center mass.
..surprise, surprise, I see it in your eyes...
". . .suspect pointed a handgun at the officer, the officer, fearing for his life, fired at him,. . ."
I think we see this too often in reports. When someone breaks into my house, I'm not waiting to see a gun before I shoot.
Be prepared to defend yourself & loved ones at all times. I get the mail, got my "snubbie", toss out the garbage, same-o, pizza delivery, definitely packin'.
Paranoid? No. As long as Quinn continues to let felons out of jail & Crookcounty judges keep letting violent thugs avoid incarnation, I stay alert & armed. The good citizens of Detroit are handling their crime problem, let's do the same.
Good job.
Good for him! I live out in the country, everyone is armed.

Nice job officer.
HEY 12:09 AM You'll be living in fantasy land when my foot is up your ass. Let's meet! RETIRED CPD-A WHITE RETIRED CPD. Boy U got some growin up to do. Sure ur scared ass is real popular with ur fellow officers!
"""Nicely done indeed. Protected himself and, more importantly, his family. However, I can't stop myself from thinking why him and his family live on the 9600 blk of south Princeton.""""
Well maybe decades of getting raises far lower then inflation, getting fucked left and right over health care and insurance, and having a fucking union who's members are only interested in furthering their own scams, have something to do with it.
Then maybe bad luck of having your old Lady out of work. Not having the clout to get promoted, or a spot where you can steal OT. Lastly add the fact we dont get paid much anyways.A bad divorce....ect
Its real easy to see why/how we can end up in marginal neighborhoods. Thank the Lord this copper and his little girl are OK and stop condescending on where they live.
You must be a Boss. Just saying.

Fact is it makes no difference what neighborhood you live in. It happened in 16, 008, also. If you live in Chicago, you are not safe.
Great job offcier. You protected yourself and family, and your property. Thank God you had a gun nearby
Great job officer. I sure hope the other good citizens of these shitty neighborhoods can afford to get their CCL so they too can protect their families legally.
Why are so many Officers being targeted in their own homes? Where's the Gang Intelligence Unit on this, asleep at the wheel again? Where's the CPD Plan to actively check residences of ALL CPD Officers, active AND retired ? More CPD Maanagement incompetence and malpheasance. Worried more about the politics than their own officers. Get in the ballgame, CPD SUPERVISION. Why is it you can spend countless hours in meetings about every little issue, but can't meet and develop a plan to protect your own Officers, their homes, and families much better? Officers active and retired, killed in their own Homes, over and over, and you still do nothing, have no Plan, no idea of how to better provide for their safety and security, while you pander to every storefront Reverend, Alderman, and other parasitic Lackeys? You, CPD Management, are truly some disgusting, feckless, sycophants, along with your City Hall Chronies. There was a day before Stooges and Political Hacks completely took over the Police Department Officers and their Families Safety Always came first. Cops back then didn't even have to be told. They did it on their own. Back then, they called it, "Integrity". Todays Comic Book-to-College Cops don't seem to have much, if any, of that. But they do whine like bitches, every time they can't have their way, right away. What a sad,sorry bunch, CPD has become. Can't check on Officers and their homes, but can allow their men to sit in Suburban Restaurants for Hours on end, miles from where they should be patrolling. And the Supervisors who allow it? Still Supervisors. And people wonder whats wrong with CPD....
I am very happy to know the officer was able to protect himself and his daughter from the honor students.
Thank you for surviving and saving your child during this horrific event. I'm sorry you and your child had to go through this. If you can please consider moving out of that area. Your safety and the safety of your family is worth much more than a higher rent/mortgage. Please stay safe.
That's what must be done and well done indeed office don't want to sound paranoid but keeping a weapon where you can get at it quick seems to a must these day again well done.Ret. CPD.
Outstanding work Office, you protected your family and showed those shitheads who the real gang is; the good guys. ..now, move.
Tribune reporting the "offender" who was shot by Police this morning as a victim. Also they put up the comments section for all the cop haters to spew their bullshit. What used to be a decent newspaper (many years ago) has evolved into a fucking rag.
Are these "home of CPD officer" attacks in any way related to the stolen info from police computers a while back?
That is why if you live on a decent block or neighborhood you need to once again form block clubs, the cops that live on these blocks need to re-inforce into the minds of the other residents that it is NOT OK for these thieving little rats to invade and steal, let the thugs know that they are not welcome, call the police anytime and everytime you see something you don't like. don't let the dispatchers intimidate you when they ask all their stupid questions, and if the police don't come out in a reasonable time call back and ask for a Sergeant to come by too. Thisis what we pay taxes for, and yes I know the old Addage that the bosses tell the off duty police, you couldn't get involved but it's not their call, remember you have a right and obligation to act. Do you job officers and maybe all of our neighborhoods will be safer, wherever you live and whatever race we are.
Good job! Where do I send the keg of Heineken beer?
This headline could have read so differently. My Uncle retired from CPD after similar incident years ago. My most heartfelt gratitude that this Officer and his child are physically unharmed. I hope the process will work to reel in all offenders. God bless you and your child, sir, and thank you for your service. God bless all our Officers and, please, all of you, protect yourselves out there and even more so at home. We DO care.

You are right about one thing- you are an asshole. Not all officers choose to move out of the community they grew up in. A person should be able to live in any part of the city they choose. The good people of Chicago are not to be blamed- blame the bad people.
I am just glad that the good guy won this fight. Let's not forget a month ago a retired Sgt. was shot in the neck after he gave up his property in a home invasion.
I always love happy endings. This ending would be even happier if all three offenders were dead. But I will take this ending over a more tragic one in which the good guy is hurt or dead.
Nice job officer. You did a good job considering the circumstances and I hope you and your daughter get well soon from the stress of this event.
Only one mistake, he didn't kill the intruder. He'll be out tomorrow and causing more trouble.
2 Dead and 14 wounded by gunfire since Friday. Wait til it hits 60 degrees Sunday and Monday! Hows that comp stat thing working out for you Garry? What a joke!
I agree with the first post, true you can live pretty nicely on our salary when your home is in a majority poor area, its understandable also that thats where you might have grown up all your life that its hard to leave, if I was single I wouldnt care where I lived but when you have a family you want to provide the best upbringing that you can provide. Glad the ofc and family are safe and he got to clip one of them ,coz thats the only punishment that they will get since the prison system is a joke !

I read the Crime In Boystown blog frequently and between last friday and this past Tuesday, I believe there where about 7 break ins if I remember correctly. The whole city is really starting to feel the impact of crime being down.
Why didn't he just call 911 and wait down the street?

Anyone who has seen CHICAGOLAND should be disgusted by Rahms sudden interest in an inner city black male. This poor kid doesn't even realize he's just being used as a cheap political human shield to pander to the black vote. He's a modern day Willis or Arnold being exploited by MR SCUMMOND.

OT What is going on in Mount Greenwood? Search warrants all over the place.
Not a cop..
Can u legally shoot someone that breaks into your house that doesn't have a weapon? For instance, u hear them come in and hide in the closet and when they come into the room you blast away. Just wondering??

Kudos Officer!
It's all because nobody cares about us! All the city
Cares about is safe passage and the poor non tax paying
Parents children! I swear I don't see any safe passage signs in my neighborhood what a joke!

Actively check residences of all po's and retired po's. Thats like 20,000 checks. Get real. Wheres the manpower for that. The guys on the beat car need all the help they can get.

There is a lot of truth to your statement.Old Retired White Guy went off the edge a bit....but This is where we get our news from.No more roll calls to attend. Maybe I/He, worked with a PO or his/her family member involved in something that hit the news.

Exactly... Why should ANY CPD officer move, unless he or she wants to move ? Isn't it bad enough the Chicago DemocratPoliticians have already pussified the Department totally, now we should run and hide from thugs too? Why doesn't Department Supervision come up with a plan to do spot checks on its officers residences? Amazing how they can jump thru Hoops every time Father Flakey, or some other slack-jaw Reverend opens his Trap wanting something done,, but can't even attempt to do something for their own officers to improve their Safety & security. The useless FOP doesn't help anything either. Buncha Whistle-Dicks. , yet they all want coppers to go out and bust their Balls for them, 24-7, non-stop. What a bunch of phoney, incompetent imbeciles, CPD is led by, starting at City Hall, all the way on down. Fuck working hard at all for theses incompetent Ass-Clowns with their Mixed-Up, Politically - Correst Priorities.

Not Really. These lowlife Gangbanger-Thugs are perfectly capable of following you out to a suburban Home just as well. It might take them a bit more effort, but they can still easily do it if you are not aware and alert. It's happening everywhere across the Country, and will just get worse if Amnesty is allowed. There's No Guaranteed safety in the suburbs, or small towns anymore. Don't think moving out of the City will assure your safety, it will just get you fired for violating the Residency Clause you signed when the City hired you.

Well, I'm retired and grateful for the 014th district car that still makes a run by the house most days at the beginning of their tour. (Yes, I sometimes see you, even though I can't get to the porch fast enough to wave.) Usually, that's the only time my block sees a squad car each day. The neighbors are grateful, too, guys. Thanks, again.
Home invaders are getting more desperate, they have always been bold.
"Peppers was charged with attempted residential burglary, aggravated assault, criminal trespass to a vehicle, and possession of burglary tools..."
So much for the Green Bay defense.......Oh wait....

So do I, and I keep my shot gun near by too.
If I may, in response to "Well Im retired"@0522 3/30/2014 The entire city should be grateful when you guys drive by. Most wonderful post sir. Thanks
I'm glad this situation worked out for this officer. Having said that, I wouldn't have left my home to go outside and pursue them with a 7 year old child inside. My main duty would be to remain inside of my home and keep my family safe. Hard to do that if you're running outside confronting three. But I'm glad it worked out ok.

Well, wait my friend. Unless you leave this job for greener pastures, or wind up being killed on this job, you will one day
find yourself a retiree. That day will come sooner than you can ever imagine.
You don't understand now, but you will. Why do we come here? Because we don't forget our brothers and sisters who
are still out there. That's why.
Why didn't he just call 911 and wait down the street?

Of course you can shoot someone who breaks into your home illegally. No worries. We will make the paper right. We love and support citizens who protect themselves.
