Off Duty Sheriff

Someone tried to rob and off duty sheriff:

• An attempted armed robbery ended in a shooting and a car engulfed in flames on the city's West Side. The shooting happened on Sunday around 1:41 a.m. near Lake and Morgan in the Fulton Market District, according to Chicago police. Police said the offender jumped out of a Ford SUV and tried to rob a man at gunpoint.

  The victim was an off-duty correctional deputy, according to the Cook County Sheriff's Office. The off-duty deputy pulled out his own gun and fired several shots toward the offender.

  No one was hit. The suspect ran off.

"No one was hit." And no one can explain the burning SUV or if that was just coincidence.

Except, CWB discovered this:

• There’s a plot twist to report in the overnight attempted robbery of an off-duty Cook County correctional officer in the West Loop. The officer pulled a gun and fired at the robber and a second man as they ran from the scene, Chicago police said, adding that no injuries were reported.

  But we have learned that a man with five gunshot wounds arrived at Rush Hospital in an Uber about 30 minutes after the shooting. Investigators were working to determine if he was shot by the correctional officer.

If this sheriff scored five hits, well done indeed.
