Gage Park Massacre
- The bodies of five adults and one child were found at a home on Chicago's Southwest Side Thursday afternoon, according to police.
Officers performed a well-being check at a Gage Park house about 1:05 p.m. in the 5700 block of South California after a co-worker of a man who lives in the house said he had not shown up for two days.
During the check, police said they discovered the bodies of four men, one woman and one child around the age of 10 or 12 of an unknown sex who lived in the home.
While we have seen (and expect to see) human depravity on this job, we highly recommend that any officer, ET, detective, anyone who had to work this scene, keep an eye on each other and if necessary, avail yourself of any assistance offered by the Department. Sure, we have a very dark sense of humor and a "whistle-past-the-graveyard" mentality, but things stick in your head and fester there. Post-traumatic stress is real and it can lead you to all sorts of bad decisions.
We know the chaplains showed up at the lagoon where infant parts were scattered for the officers and marine unit people and EAP was there on and off. A lot of people were very thankful for that in the comment sections. Hopefully, the help is available.

Simple. 6 natural deaths.
Prayers for the souls of the victims and their families.
I hope you can find him,them or it that did it.
EAP has been requested to come to 008 already for an informal talk with anyone on scene
How Many MURDERS So far in Feb
Sorry but cartel violence which is what this appears to be will have no emotional impact on me. If you wanna be in the game this is what happens sometimes.
Rahm couldn't have been pleased about it, but this one was, as J-Fled used to say, an innie. Not too much could've been done to prevent this one. But a 7-spot on a cool, early February Thursday sure isn't going to help the stats.
Does anyone remember some videoson the Internet that were titled "Daley finds out we didn't get the Olympics", and it's a subtitled movie and has a screaming mad Adolf Hitler complaining, and the subtitles are talking about local stuff? I can just imagine ol' Rahm-a-lama-ding-dong behind closed doors as these numbers come in.
Sanctuary City Cartel hit.
I bet the knife wasn't registered.
Stop talkin' 'bout that PTSD stuff, SCC!
You know the Joyful Haters love to go on
about how easy and safe Policing is nowadays...
"You Cops think too much of yourselves!
You aren't soldiers, you're public servants
for crying out loud, so get back to work or
just quit if you can't handle what we pay you to."
Hah...

It's real...
Jump out of bed fighting in your sleep REAL!
The nightmare of being in a pinch and your trusty, clean and well-oiled
sidearm says NOTHIN' when you pull the trigger on the goblins closing in on you.
Not to mention the unspeakable a lot of us have seen.
Retirement is a noteworthy and worthwhile achievement...
Police like you have no friends.
Stay safe.
Thoughts and prayers for the Officers on scene.
May justice be done.
at least they were an innie and not an outie.
Sad, real real sad. :-( And another to woman was found stabbed to death in a laundry . That is seven stabbed to death in one day! Time to register and confiscate knives .
The death toll is climbing rapidly. Rahm is going to be very unhappy.
It was nice to see a boss come to the scene and do what needs to be done slainte JD
Sounds like some cartel shit right there.
Fuck this sick job and this sick world. Make your life and your family the only priority.
Why the child? WTF?
I wonder if this was cartel related
Until our house as a society is put back into order and PEOPLE not programs are responsible for themselves, this will continue and escalate.
Not the police: If I may, it is good to talk about this and the other things you cops all deal with, not only the death stuff but particulary the death stuff. It does not seem like a good idea to internalize the frustrations and lack of humanity that is a big part of being the police. You have to find a way to deal with this so it does not overcome you. As the old man always told me based on his war experience that once you lose your sense of humor, you are in big trouble. Never be surprised about the inhumanity of your fellow man OR yourself he offered.
All bullshit aside, I still have nightmares about the Flisk scene in 004.
The initial reports said that the victims were stabbed to death. This is a tragic reminder of how deadly a knife wielding offender can be.
Please, can someone tell Chalkie they did away with the activity requirements to get VRI.
2 more 0110's in 025 last night.
And on a side note, an officer made a murder arrest, at a D&D Wednesday. I don't want to name the officer, but, let's just say...He Runs It!
Dems and RINOs mobilizing for cutlery control campaign. Knife grab to be led by Northshore libs and Crook Co usuals. Emergency legislation to outlaw blades and criminalize even simple possession of "assault" tournes and butter knives; heavy taxes on everything else. Spork owners subject to background checks.
Rally at noon.
Anyone see Roy being interviewed today.
Forget the 6 dead, reporters wanted to know why all the gold braid
was present at this crime scene? Do the detectives need supervison?

bout time someone spoke up
stay fetal.
This isn't any typical domestic dispute. This sounds and looks like a narcotics hit job. Right now in the city of Chicago we have the various Mexican drug cartel's people on the ground. They don't play games and no one is off the table when it comes to their dope. They are even doing kidnapping of people right off from our streets.
Oh well, another day in the hood. Fact is people could care less about these tragic reports, dismissing it as another crime event in the big city. Just like Pavlovian dogs, their ears perk up and mouths salivate only when they hear those key words "police fatally shot/wounded (insert future Harvard laureate's name here)". Other than that, ants keep marching.
There were 2 murdered kids ages 10 and 13, and four adults as of this morning's briefing.
we wont ask for it but we need it.
Eso es Trabajo de Sinaloa Cartel..
It's like the supervisor of the cops who had to dig up the Gacy remains said when his men were goofing, making practical jokes, wearing funny T-shirts and what not. He said he didn't worry about the guys with gallows humor. But when somebody stopped making jokes, he worried about them.
More vri? Bad dope deal? Are they illegally here? There goes the index and rahm on news saying "I'm not resigning" funny though looks like the big payoff from Lucas for the pos ugly museum fell through! Rahm your power is gone resign please!
I wonder if this was a hit because someone messed up a shipment or some money.
Remember the guys that were found in the garage in the midway area of 8 a few years ago.
Does anyone remember a tall, grey-haired-silly-grinning- blue eyed sergeant from forensics? he was reprimanded for laughing and / or smiling in and around crime scenes? Caught on camera .......what a fool!
On California it happened again, on camera, while an ET was putting on his white jump suit.
Please SSC; caution our own to avoid looking inconsiderate anywhere the media may be.
It's real...

This dreams happens to many officers, it's your subconscious telling you that you need more range time practicing your craft. Get to the range and I promise you that those types of dreams will subside. Happens to many of us. Be safe
If only someone would have had a taser for home defense.
Cartel
Hey, I watch the news, knives aren't deadly weapons. Must be a mistake. that said, everyone at the scene who saw this should talk to someone, don't hold that shit in.
Knives kill quietly and sends a message. My experiences tell me that the above "cartel" comments may hold validity. Rahmicide/suicide does not seem likely from what I've seen. With Rahm in the spotlight lately I would not be surprised if this incident gets spun at least a little. Just remember, people are taking some heavy heavy hits for misrepresenting evidence. Play this straight up if anyone asks you to "massage" anything at all.
It is what it is and let the heat fall where it belongs.
Lead based Rahmicides,
Bladed Rahmicides
Louisville Rahmicides
And all other manner of Rahmicide all have one common denominator.
RAHM!!!!!
Unhandcuff the police?
Can't be done, too late, that ship has sailed
DOJ and ACLU in charge now, they don't care what the body count is unless Barry gets his way and felons are allowed to vote. Then that id democratic votes being lost.
People will continue to blame the police, over paid and lazy, no idea how good they had it.
Smear media reports that our clearance rates are less than half other cities. When you gut the detective division by not promoting detectives for five years and combine that with the no snitch culture it becomes nearly impossible. Most of our stats are half of other cities, like literacy rates. Some are double, like unemployment and children born out of wedlock. We are the only department with St. Jude is our patron saint. He is primarily the patron saint of hopeless causes.
We have 800 tazers ordered when they can't be used against an armed assailant anyway.
We should've ordered 800 crystal balls, because that's the only way to police now.

i hear you loud and clear and wish you peace my friend.seriously.
CARTEL.... this looks like some Sicario shit
PTS is serious guys, SCC is great for throwing this out for all you hero' who had to work the scene. To the poor copper who is still having a hard time after our LOD Death, Hero, P.O. Flisk, God be with you and hope you are venting to a professional. Copper' see the evils of the world daily and deserve all the support they can get.
My heart goes out to all who had to walk into a horror crime scene yesterday.
Booze is never the answer and if you are getting depressed Yell for help to EAP, good people there with a heart. The Chaplains are also gems of the earth.
The job is one big stress factor lately.
Didn't the news report the 30 year old son wasithe "import business."
PTSD for being at a crime scene? I'm sorry, I don't get it. If a copper is somehow engaged in battle leading to this incident I could understand the correlation, but our mere presence to document and process a scene I have to say I'm at a loss. In this profession we have to separate and move on. Yes sad, very, very sad, but the stuff nightmares are mad of? I don't think so. Whether it's cartel related, domestic related, or robbery related, it really doesn't matter, aside from the fact that domestics themselves are an evil we will never get away from, and if someone in that house was in the narcotics industry, it still shouldn't perpetuate the slaughter of his or her family, but that is a risk of that choice. To perpetuate the need for psyc intervention though? No! There have been other robbery related slaughters in recent history, like the quintuple shot to death in house after returning from the Player's Ball Pimp Fest in Florida. Everyone thought that was drug and pimp related but turned out to be a home invasion because some neighborhood thugs wanted their big screen Tvs. That was a gruesome scene too but not one to anguish over. The robbery angle here is not likely but would garner the victimization as particularly sad. Multiple people stabbed, while a terrible crime isn't a horrific event for the police, unless it associates itself with decapitation, mutilation, disembowelment etc. Now those are things that stick in the craw and might need to be vented. Toughen up people, this isn't a haunted house attraction at the Park District, this is the streets of a major metropolitan society. If it bothers you, talk about it and get it out of your system, but I recommend you look into something else long-term to support yourself and your family. This can become a recurring type of event you will repeatedly have to handle.
Slap a hefty tax on the sale of every knife sharpener!!!
13 murders in the first 5 days of Feb
To Anonymous 2/05/2016 02;12 AM; PTSD, 5 years retired and my wife is holding me down in bed at 3am says I am swinging my arms and hollering, waking from a dream of a street stop. I though it would end sooner than that. Late 80's saw an 11 year old shot dead in a park in an upscale neighborhood. The kids mother had chastised my partner & me for bringing her sons home just weeks before. She got her "my sons aren't involved answer".

Resemble Mexico. I think we surpassed them in terms of a corrupt government! This has become the leader in Banana republic shenanigans. Just look a the Chiraq, D.C., etc...
With one call 008 picks up a six pack of homicides..... talk about skewing the numbers!
Chalkie was working overtime.
The boys at the precinct were speculating this was possible the work of a Mexican drug cartel. We were all reminded of the possibility this was another Fast and Furious unlawful transfer of firearms offshoot. Logic prevailed since only a knife and bludgeoning weapons were used.
The U.S. Justice Department’s command through the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were only authorized to forward assault weapons to be used by El-Chapo and his gang against the Mexican people. Justice Department authorized Use of Force protocols only allow deadly force to be commissioned by use of illegally funneled government acquired firearms through ATF channels. They play by the rules just like local jurisdictions have to.
The illegal transfer and use of knives are forbidden by policy and would leave top level Justice Department officials vulnerable to wrongful death, excessive force and civil rights violations lawsuits in their prized superior federal courts. I’m sure if there were any wrongdoing, the ACLU would be granted permission to review all federal government documents by the court exercising their oversight responsibilities emphasizing the need for greater transparency, an acceptable transformation into federal policing accountability policies at all levels starting at the very top and a rigid application of social justice paradigms.
A lot of brass at the crime scene was right. I hope they all didn't do a walk through of the crime scene before processing was completed.
Drug dealers don't commit violent crimes. Just ax' your President.
A sixer on one crime scene really boosted the stats, surely Thursday had to have a couple more elsewhere.
There probably won't be any retalliation or a solved murder.
Ciudad Santuario de Rohmero Emañuel.
According to McBullshit, it's only 1 incident. Sounds a lot better doesn't it?
Two little kids murdered. Must be enraging. A 9-year-old executed, and you have children. A little guy's body chopped to pieces and dumped in a lagoon like garbage. God give you strength. Being an officer, seeing this and how can you not despair of humanity? Thank you.
HoHoHo! Sounds like corpulent uber sleuth Gene Roy knows as much about homicide investigation as the ER physicians at Illinois Masonic who couldn't tell last weeks double murder in 017 from two docs in-a-hot tub! Once again gunshot wounds overlooked at scene. How long will the corrupt and ineffectual leadership-and I use the term leadership very, very lightly-keep this as a death investigation? Pretty long methinks.
Maybe the offender is another of John Escalante's highly paid 1504 fund informants.
Do NOT worry about the dicks assigned to this case! They are some of the baddest MF'ers in the city, particularly Detective R.D.! He will solve this heinous..... excuse me, I have to take a quick call..... never mind, He's on furlough again.... February furloughs and July medicals... good luck Ozzie!
Just saying what many officers are already thinking....that this looks like some straight up cartel shit.
Sure it was cartel, but let it go....Chicago being a sanctuary city and all

I hope and pray you are not a fellow police officer. Please don't tell me that the job made you feel this way. You were an a-hole before this job and you will be an a-hole after you retire.

No story here. This shit happens in Mexico everyday.

That was carried out by some wannabe cartel idiots. They were robbing potential buyers. One of those idiots is dead I believe, killed by a copper.
This country is doomed. There's no going back. Shitheads. Illegals. "Refugees" from the middle east. Let them all vote. IT'S OVER. America I loved the girl you used to be, but my GOD, how you have changed. In a decade or so, you won't even be recognizable. And our pensions? If you think it's gonna be there, think again. They will cut us off and be done with us. Because at that point, it won't matter. They won't need our votes anymore. They will have all the votes they need to stay in power. And by that time, we should all be dis-armed. There will be no fighting back. It's over. Unless we do something now. Time is running out to put an end to this. Soon it will be too late.

I didn't make the initial post you were ranting about but, What are you so mad about? Swearing and cussing because someone doesn't think like you do? You want him or her to be all emotional like you are? Truly, on this job, if you don't laugh you will surely cry. Two kids beaten to death is a tragic event, but why should it have any kind of profound emotional impact on the police officers? You have to be a professional and leave your emotions at home to even begin to investigate such a case. You cannot be an un-biased investigator if you are personally involved in a case, or emotionally traumatized, by such a crime scene. How about the evidence tech? You want them to be crying and boo-hooing as they collect evidence? NO you want them to care less about what they see and just do their job. How about the detectives? Let's say they catch an offender. They will have to sit in an enclosed room with said monster and try to obtain a confession or some kind of statement of their involvement. They will have to do it without showing emotions. The detectives will have to look over the photos of the scene looking for that bit of evidence that helps them solve the case.
I could go on but I think you cannot be a police officer. You did say "fellow police officer" so maybe you wear the uniform but you don't sound like the working police who often have to put emotions aside, focus on the facts, charge the a## hole criminals who make everyone else afraid, and then go home and be grateful for your own family and do the best you can for the people who matter in your life. You, on the other hand, sound like someone who gets all emotional and you would lose the case the moment you lose your cool and do something stupid that destroys the case. Not feeling all emotional about what happens to other people does not make one an a-hole.
Thanks to the poster who said that Rahm is like the leader of a Banana Republic. I looked up and if one tries, one could see some similarities between a central American country and Chicago:

So let's see if this is drug related we should be all broken up because the future heirs to the throne were cut down early in life. These are possibly members of an organization that has murdered how many innocent people including law enforcement. Now if this is domestic then that changes thing.
Hey, 3:28- you apparently are clueless about PTSD. Even if you see the scene, anf just doing the paper, it's taking a toll on you. It really is. Its do effed up what you're seeing daily. You need an iutlet....
Disassociate yourself and...
I understand your comment and agree to a degree but it is not the singular event that may cause others seek help but rather the cumulative effect of years of being involved in these events that may trigger the PTSD. I disassociated myself from these events also and now that I am retired I find myself dealing with that decision. We are all different and our ability to absorb pain, mental and physical, is unique to each of us. I am a very luck man in that my wife, children and grandchild are supportive and I can talk to them when things are unbalanced. Please reach out to people if you feel overwhelmed. When I look at my grandaughters beautiful smile and she says "I love you grampa" I thank God that He walked me back from the precipice so many years ago.
God bless all my brothers and sisters in blue.

Hang in there my friend. The bad dreams will stop for you as they did for me, but it took a few years. But, at five years maybe you should go see someone for a little help. PTSD is real for cops just something that is just now being recognized. There mostly gone now, but only a few months ago ( I am retired 13 years) I had one of those bad dreams and almost choked my wife. The mental and physical damage this job does to people is real.

Random thoughts....all were bludgeoned or stabbed except the son's wife, who according to the Sun Times was shot.
Why shoot her?
She was probably the least likely to interrupt their plans.
On the surface this appears to be cartel related, but don't they usually send a message with their hits...like whacking off a head or a Columbian necktie?
A final thought...maybe the wife who was shot was the reason the cartel came after them, like maybe she owed money or something....so they force her to watch her family being massacred and shoot her just to make it a quick finish...
Check out the conservative treehouse.
If it was a cartel hit, then Donald Trump could use this to help win the Presidency.

PTSD! Hmm could work, in my 29+ year career peprs are in, mnay things I have personally handled, from 7 years old raped, to people with heads cut off, man stabbing his wife bloodbath, people shot,last breath blood and gore neb=ver 6 people in 1 home like this a family,i know "they are illegals" got that but who could murder children like this? The story is the father left "back to mexico" after divorce could it be a domestic? Could it be drugs? maybe lets let it play out and if the coppers on scene that walked into that house of horrors need assistance talk to them! here is an idea johnny give these coppers maybe a week or 2 off with pay to relax what say you boss?
We lost this city thanks to the liberal government we have.
now, what did Trump say about murderers and thugs coming here from....where?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or...the wife killed everybody and then shot herself. Perhaps prior to committing the murders she drugged her family, thus making it easier to carry out the killings with the knife and blunt object, after which she killed herself with the gun.
The doors were locked, and the reports state that the house wasn't "ransacked" which I take to indicate that there was no sign of a struggle.
Of course the question then gets asked: why didn't the wife just shoot everybody? One possible answer to that scenario is: who the hell knows? Why do people do crazy shit like this to begin with?

Don't be afraid of judgement if you talk to friends. It's the sign of a good man and warrior. I would never judge a copper for venting about what may haunt them. I've seen some things that I've grappled with. Mainly asking how can people be so evil and why could I not have stopped it. I then realized that this is life; good and evil. There are a lot of evil fucks. The best you can do is protect those you have the ability to. I remember the Flisk incident as well. It's sickening but he was a good man as I'm sure you are. Not to sound sentimental so I'll stop.
To the special forces, delta operator who had been a bad ass his whole life telling coppers they can't feel pity for dead coppers or savagely beaten/murdered families, including children, go fuck yourself. You're a fucking clown and no one needs your career advice. Now back to airsoft and wearing your seal team 6 replica gear, fag. Make way for the adults working in the environment.

There mostly gone now, but only a few months ago ( I am retired 13 years) I had one of those bad dreams and almost choked my wife. The mental and physical damage this job does to people is real.

Congrats to both of you in your retirement. Hopefully you moved far away from this liberal shithole, far removed from the violence, stupidity and offender-loving fools. Nothing is wrong with how you handled the job and it's not your fault that you have recurring nightmares. Keep cherishing your families and know that you are good men who were exposed to bad people, plain and simple.
maybe it was an accident. like the 2 guys in 017 that got shot to death, but was changed to a death investigation because their car crashed after being shot in the head.
Can you say cartel in CHICAGO?

Jump out of bed fighting in your sleep REAL!
The nightmare of being in a pinch and your trusty, clean and well-oiled
sidearm says NOTHIN' when you pull the trigger on the goblins closing in on you.
This dreams happens to many officers, it's your subconscious telling you that you need more range time practicing your craft. Get to the range and I promise you that those types of dreams will subside. Happens to many of us. Be safe

You don't do sarcasm so well, do you?

Easy to call me a moron, but you show your ignorance by not looking into this yourself. Violent crime is bad in this town but not nearly as bad as many Illinois and US cities and certainly not as bad as Central and South American cities. That fact alone is scary when you actually realize that there is so much violent crime in this world.
The doors were locked, and the reports state that the house wasn't "ransacked" which I take to indicate that there was no sign of a struggle.
Of course the question then gets asked: why didn't the wife just shoot everybody? One possible answer to that scenario is: who the hell knows? Why do people do crazy shit like this to begin with?

'Ransacked' means ripping through the house, looking for something, like jewelry, drugs, money, computer disks, ledgers. It doesn't mean signs of a defensive struggle.
Salient advice SCC, nobody has ab "S" on their chest. We are all human.
Make it to the finish line. God bless you all.

He also said last night during the debate-he loves the Police.
And I believe him!

Do NOT worry about the dicks assigned to this case! They are some of the baddest MF'ers in the city, particularly Detective R.D.! He will solve this heinous..... excuse me, I have to take a quick call..... never mind, He's on furlough again.... February furloughs and July medicals... good luck Ozzie!

___He's a tool. I pity anyone that has to work with him.___
I think the "cartels" are getting a hold here in Chi
Whoever was in charge did a good job at that scene
I also want to say, to help keep your sanity, get some interests outside of this job. Volunteer at a shelter, visit friends, go workout, get involved with a church, animal shelter, homeless shelter, or get hobbies. You can't let this job be your life.
