Trooper Wounded
- A carjacking suspect was killed and an Illinois State Police trooper was wounded during a shootout Saturday evening on I-55 near downstate Staunton, police said. Around 3:45 p.m. Saturday, the Glen Carbon Police Department informed state police about an armed carjacking in which the suspect fired shots in the area of the Glen Carbon Sam’s Club, according to ISP.
A responding state trooper found the suspect’s car going northbound on I-55 and tried to pull it over. Instead, the pursuit took them into Staunton, then back toward the highway, police said. Staunton police joined troopers in following the suspect, who drove off the roadway and got stuck in the median near the intersection of Staunton Road and Interstate 55, according to ISP.
The suspect got out of his car and started to run, according to state police. The state trooper ran after him. He took out a handgun and shot at the trooper, who was hit, police said. The trooper fired back, hitting and killing the suspect, police said. The suspect was identified as male but had no identification on him and has not been identified, police said. Police said a handgun was recovered at the scene.
Well done Trooper. Wishing a speedy recovery to you.

Nice job, Troop
Thank you, our brother

Great job trooper. See Ed, that is how you treat carjackers you make them room temperature.
Carjacking is just a property crime
TP
Well done trooper!
Troopers need to have two man cars , end this insanity, it’s unsafe, we pay a boat load in taxes, to pay for an additional officer
This is what qualifies someone for a merit promotion. Get well soon and a job well done troop.
Is Special Ed heading south to strip the trooper?
Good job Trooper, prayers with your recovery.
Good work trooper. Hope you make a full recovery. No one will miss the bad guy.
If they ID him the “grieving “ family will immediately show up with a lawyer. Bury him in the median strip as a warning to the next a-hole.
Things happen fast, too fast.......
3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds
Nice shot ISP
How much is BJ going give the jackers family???? $$$$$
It’s said that Special Ed is already on the way to strip the State Trooper
If Barney Kroger was still around, Trooper Shooter
would get years' worth of free groceries-----delivered
by Barney. Keep those chops and N.Y. Strips
coming, Barn.
Justifiable killing by The Police
and no COPA or media fueled outrage
from the community?
Rest easy Trooper.
Take your time fully recovering
and thank you for a job well done.
Wait a second. COPA/IPRA says that an armed suspect running away is physically unable to shoot over his shoulder while running. Trooper is lucky he don’t work here. PS All you Lightfoot supporters can go pound sand
Get hit by a shot and still do a kill shot on the offender. Applause!!!
Get well soon trooper!!
Well done.
However, More questions than answers - Jugghaid SpecialEd is sending JB a complimentary COPA representative team to find out the truth of why the Trooper agitated that boy for no reason.
Nice shooting
He won’t try that again..... cause He Gone!

Bury?
Coyotes and buzzards need feeding so a stand of
cottonwoods about a half mile from the interstate
will be as good a place as any to drop some "shit."
>Thump!<
>granny-gear drive away<
Prayers trooper get well rapidly,thanks for keeping us safe on those roads. Over 12 troopers have been hit on the expressways so far this year why not start more overtime for them say on 55,294,88,290 like the indy 500, as a matter of fact have CPD assist them let the assholes know the police and troopers are not taking anymore hits,and then tow the vehicles of speed racers enough!
One more gone.
No highway grave markers. That's what cemetery plos are for.
Prayers going out. I always admire ISP because they are always 99. And outside the Chicago area, backup can be miles away.
Job well done!
