Off Duty Shot

  • Chicago police are investigating whether an off-duty police officer was targeted when he was grazed by a bullet while in his car after work Sunday morning in Bridgeport.

    Shortly after 5 a.m., the officer was driving his personal car west on 31st Street near Loomis Street after finishing his overnight shift, according to Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

    He noticed a vehicle behind him speeding up, and slowed down to let it go around him. The vehicle then pulled alongside the officer and someone inside pointed a gun at him and opened fire, Guglielmi said.

    The officer, who wasn't wearing his uniform shirt, was grazed in the upper arm. He returned fire, and the vehicle drove away.
At best, a case of mistaken identity. At worst, a targeted hit. The all-call message said he may have been followed from the District station for a number of blocks. Time will tell.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Officer.

In other news, an SUV was observed on the southside (006?) driving through the alley behind the station with a M/1 passenger taking video of personal cars parked in the police lot. The SUV's plate comes back to a rental at one of the airports, so it appears to be another escalation in the directed harassment, intimidation and targeting of officers.

Be aware of your surrounding and who's on the road with you.

He wasn't followed from the station as many want to think. SDs or Deuces were driving around 31st and Morgan-Racine area looking for Morgan kings. It was 5am on a Sunday morning with no cars around and he just so happen to be there. They thought he was a Morgan King and took a shot at him. It happen quite often coming home on midnights in the weekend when you are Hispanic driving through a Hispanic neighborhood. I've been rammed twice trying to get home, bricked once and had a gun flashed at me trying to get home going through 010 leaving midnights. The bangers see a younger male Hispanic and assume we are bangers too because it's a Saturday night/Sunday morning. Sucks this guy actually got shot at and grazed because it could have been worse. Those SDs in those projects are ignorant, the people over there are 100 percent sure that's what happened and allegedly word on the street from the offenders is saying that's how it went down. They will be caught in the next few days.

Yeah, the shitheads can stake out the station and record who comes and goes and that's virtually impossible to defend against. But at the very least, the Station ought to have some kind of material in the fencing along the perimeter that prevents people from seeing in.

Yeah, it prevents cops from seeing out, so there's that problem too... and with the current insane environment, you probably want to see out more than you're worried about people seeing in...

You could build a parking garage underground, but then they'd still watch the exits...

Park down the street in a public lot and pay for it, but they'll still have Pookie Jr. stake out the lot and watch... then correlate the comings and goings and figure out who the cops are.

You can have plates that are registered to the Police Stn, but they'll still know who the cars are.

The ultimate solution? The only solution as I see it? When this kind of shit happens, you locate those performing the act, those ordering the act and deal with them accordingly.

Prison minus the revolving door, or shooting them work. But in today's insane environment, neither of those are gonna happen...

Where's the Outfit when they're needed for some defensive? Anyone recall WWII where they handled the security of the Ports? On the Qt of course....

Good luck Officers - you're gonna need it. The good people of the Country support you, hopefully we'll get Trump in Nov. and can move on from this leftist bullshit destroying our Country. Thanks for your service...

These sewer rats are out of control. Capping at an off duty leaving the station. I would say he was followed leaving work.

Now the dog shit are video P.O' personal vehicle ! You guys start registering the vehicle to headquarters. there was a reason for that years ago. The mutts got copper' on their payroll checking registration via leads. Also the mutts might have a contact with the personal at S.O.S, The Sec of State, for years, the shady people working there been noted to do this shit for a saw-buck a plate. The price probably went up this decade !

For you young copper' that don't know - When going and leaving work, burn your mirror to see if followed and take a different way home when you can. Keep your GAT close to you on the passenger seat. I learned the hard way when I was followed home years ago. It was not a nice experience !!

It is a fact, any vehicle L.E runs, there is a record of who ran the plate. If anyone ran our covert vehicles plate, we were notified of the officer and Department that ran the plate.

You guys remember to log off of leads in you station or unit, some coppers might just use your log on to run plates and you will be called on it if warranted.

The CPD now, do a job that should pay $250.000 a year with 8 weeks of furlough. Be strong guys and gals, I still would stop and help a copper in need and still carry 2 ! Gold bless all of you blue shirts, fuck the alleged supervisors on CPD, (Not all). The merit hack's have trouble working a shoelace into a knot.

In the old day's, CPD supervisors would take a bullet for their people, now they would run if you get jammed. Third grade school kids would do better paper then them.

Please refrain from the saying of never trust a fed. Like local L.E, there are a few jag off', but the vast majority come from L.E local police families. Many a fed saved a copper' job and getting indicted after a b.s allegation from a total lying beefer.

Watch you backs and don't let the mutts stress your asses out. Go with the Lord !

Whatever happened to the "parking lot security? The unit whose beat covers the station should be required to monitor the lot regularly. We have parking placard but everyone parks in our lots. Are the cameras in the lots working and why isn't a desk officer required to monitoring them like in other jurisdictions? Our command is so worried about protecting the rights of the thugs that they neglect the safety of the troops. You can enter the Headquarters lot without being screened and they have 002nd District units assigned to the perimeter.... More reasons why morale is low. Protect yourselves and each and most importantly stay fetal! Thank you Rahm and Eddie for creating this.

If I were on OC I would like to introduce myself to that asshole in a week or two once done with background. In any case I would hope running the plate isn't the end of it. Besides, real criminals know go to Bolingbrook of Naperville and steal the family van from the driveway if you need a "work" car. Maybe it was a Fed?

Every station and every lot should have qualified, competent station and lot security on duty at all times.
Not some broken down, has been copper and not only when they have sufficient manpower to do it.
If Admin offices can have 14 officers working in them, and Tact offices can have 2 secretaries then there's absolutely no excuse not to have the stations and lots properly secured and patrolled.

The question is random or more likely targeted? The bigger picture is we are at war, the elected have bastardized us, the dishonest news media have destroyed any semblance of law and order,and of course the head circus clowns wearing gold badges drawing huge pensions have thrown us to the wolves.

That being said if your not doing it already, when you leave work or go to work vary your routes, pay attention, back each other up. If you hear a call officer needs help weather on or off duty lights and sirens, get off lunch break we only have each other. If even an off duty or retired copper calls for service time to always "put blue first!"

Lastly we have to wait until we get a pro-police president in office and everyone knows who that is Donald Trump!

OT but on the subject of protecting police,..
Yesterday in 017, a suicide shot himself in the forest preserve, God rest his troubled soul. In the aftermath, two beat cops and two sargents responded and determined it was Cook County's scene. At one point in figuring out the notifications, Sqaud informed the beat cop that the ME wanted the beat cop to call and make a notification. Beat cop says "there are no department phones" on scene. Immediately someone who sounded like a Sargent comes on the air and says forcefully something along the lines of, you are not allowed to use your personal phone for department business, go into the station to make your notifications there. Then an unidentified voice comes on and says "Finally! I've been waiting for someone to say that!" And that as that.
How often is this happening in other incidents? Not often enough? I figure there is less pressure to respond quickly with suicides...

Sounds like you got it all figured out there, all-star. Let the detectives know so they can find these guys and close the case. Where are you getting your info? You dating a project rat from over there? If he was targeted for being the police, do you think they would admit it? There's no way they followed him leaving the station parking garage and didn't know he was the police. The word on the street is that you're an idiot. If you don't know if it was SDs or deuces, how the hell do you know the other particulars? It seems the "word on the street from the OFFENDERS" would at least include which gang was responsible. Explain to me how the offenders don't know which gang they're in.

In the 60,70's CPS did not need armed security , metal detectors or CPD assigned .
Students were civilized respected teachers , came from loving two parent homes . Not the product of sperm donors and sperm collecting girls . Another big change no such thing as safe passage zones , Parents walked the children to school , parents worked and were not drug users or gang members . Parents made breakfast , lunch for their kids , bought the kids book bags , pencils , paper , crayons .
That is the problem today , politicians provide food ,shelter. For the kids of dead beat babies momma and babie daddie .

"... Keep your GAT close to you on the passenger seat. I learned the hard way when I was followed home years ago. It was not a nice experience !! ..."

OK Dick Tracey Crime Stoppers Textbook, "GAT" not on the front seat where it could slide off during a hard turn or sudden stop. Keep your ROSCOE secure but accessible, maybe is a cross draw position.

Also your cellphone charged with District Desk numbers on Speed-Dial that might get you help faster than calling 9-1-1. Also keep an old cellphone, charged up and/or with an auto charger in your glove compartment. Even with no network it will still get 9-1-1.

Also, study your route and know where there are places you can run to in an emergency. Places like all night gas stations, hospitals, factories anywhere that would be open with people. When working and it gets close to change of shift time and you don't have anything else to do cruse the usual routes traveled to and from your station to keep the bad guys away.

Stay Safe. Keep your car in good shape, take care of things like the tires and battery before they become problems suddenly on the way to/from work.

But, these buildings are not secure, the parking lots are not secure and many of the buildings are in a serious state of disrepair. HQ is far better condition and very secure. Then, look at the condition of the cars. It is a sad state of affairs. Poor working conditions and poor morale.

HR, Admin, politics, etc. Do we really need to bash the suburb guys now and really single ourselves out? We all play for the same team with the same goals. Bashing other departments isn't going to make us look any better. Specially since there are plenty of other departments that haven't been investigated like us, don't have DOJ guys riding with them, aren't the target of media shit shows, etc. Some guys just want to bash anyone and everything like they are the end-all, be-all. Knock off the "we're better than them" BS. It doesn't help anyone and it certainly doesn't make us look any better.

Even if the station is short of lockers, one should reasonably be able to figure out that the safest place to change clothes
would be in the locker room. Carry what you need in, change in the locker room, take out to your car what you don't, place it in the trunk, eyes on swivel, get back in the building. It's tragic what happened to Thor, but everyone should know that you cannot
assume you're safe and secure inside of the station and definitely outside of the building.

While trump talks about "loving the police" and "law and order" clinton trots out bringing in more refugees and more liberal failed ideas. look at our own city homicides way up, a mayor who has no clue, finances in total disarray, police levels extremely low and the elected pandering to the black lies murder crew recipe for total disaster!

12:22pm notify the new deputy chief of professional standards
every police station should have extra lockers available for police officers , supervisors assigned or detailed in .
are they trying to have another police officer murdered while changing uniforms in the parking lot .

Even if the station is short of lockers, one should reasonably be able to figure out that the safest place to change clothes
would be in the locker room. Carry what you need in, change in the locker room, take out to your car what you don't, place it in the trunk, eyes on swivel, get back in the building. It's tragic what happened to Thor, but everyone should know that you cannot
assume you're safe and secure inside of the station and definitely outside of the building.

I agree, but part of the problem is that in some districts some coppers have as many as two or three lockers.

The comments in this blog have been getting ridiculous. Some turd makes a comment that isn't with the typical "stay fetal" BS and the response is that he is some pimpy suburb cop? Saying that we don't need their support, etc? I'm seeing more and more of these comments lately and it's getting stupid. The media hates us, sure. HR, Admin, politics, etc. Do we really need to bash the suburb guys now and really single ourselves out? We all play for the same team with the same goals. Bashing other departments isn't going to make us look any better. Specially since there are plenty of other departments that haven't been investigated like us, don't have DOJ guys riding with them, aren't the target of media shit shows, etc. Some guys just want to bash anyone and everything like they are the end-all, be-all. Knock off the "we're better than them" BS. It doesn't help anyone and it certainly doesn't make us look any better.

Very well said and I agree completely. The "I am better than you attitude" that some of us have hurts us big time with both citizens and other coppers.

As a shootist civilian I was impressed by the bullet holes in that coppers windshield. A well controlled grouped, no veritical stringing, running left to right about 6 to 8 inches in a deliberate effort; thru to where the driver seat is. It looked "practiced"; the shooter was calm & deliberate, potentially a "left hander". Shooter had previously worked out with a straight on scenario with purpose and not from an angle down out of a van scenario. If this shooter learns from this effort the next target will be saved by a bullet proof vest if they don't catch one in the neck or above. 40 caliber Glock I would guess?

OT but on the subject of protecting police,..
Yesterday in 017, a suicide shot himself in the forest preserve, God rest his troubled soul. In the aftermath, two beat cops and two sargents responded and determined it was Cook County's scene. At one point in figuring out the notifications, Sqaud informed the beat cop that the ME wanted the beat cop to call and make a notification. Beat cop says "there are no department phones" on scene. Immediately someone who sounded like a Sargent comes on the air and says forcefully something along the lines of, you are not allowed to use your personal phone for department business, go into the station to make your notifications there. Then an unidentified voice comes on and says "Finally! I've been waiting for someone to say that!" And that as that.
How often is this happening in other incidents? Not often enough? I figure there is less pressure to respond quickly with suicides...

If it was a Sergeant, it was a dumb one. There is nothing saying you aren't allowed to make notifications from your cell phone. Also, a supervisor in that district should be carrying the department's fancy flip phone. Why have them go into the station to make notifications instead of having them use that phone? You morons need to actually read the general orders instead of just making up whatever you think is in them. Someone else posted that you aren't allowed to access department email from a personal device, yet there is a general order with instructions on how to do exactly that. Stop posting imaginary orders. The other morons reading your posts might believe you and spread the stupidity even further.

This is B.s. this was a hit... They were driving real fast behind him... Leaving me to believe they did not even get a good look at him and followed him from the lot. The department does not want to answer all your questions like where is station security and many more.

You're right of course, some thug with a stolen gat and whatever ammo was in it when it got nic'd and no shooting experience managed that under duress.
