010 Shooting

Not a good weekend for criminals on the west side. First a garbage man shoots two armed robbers (video here via CWB website) and then a Burglary in Progress turns into a running gun battle, and a 10-1:

• Officers responded to a call of a robbery in the 1800 block of South Ridgeway Avenue at 10:47 a.m. where they saw a man who they pursued on foot, police said. The man exchanged gunfire with police at multiple locations, and the man was wounded.

  The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died, police said. The officers were also taken to a nearby hospital for observation, and a weapon was recovered at the scene.

There's video of this shooting, too, thanks to ring doorbell cams in the neighborhood. From what we can gather, the guy was climbing in a window from a ladder when confronted by 010 Officers. He shot at them, resulting in the 10-1 and subsequent foot chase. Numerous units from the radio zone responded and a plain clothes unit exchanged gunfire with the subject.

CuckFOPA will be attempting to railroad the involved Officers for not deescalating the situation to the point everyone could just hug it out, apologize for the misunderstanding and everyone goes home to dinner.

We're told Conehead is cutting a check for the dead shithead as we type.
