"He's Got My Weapon"
A man disarmed a security officer and then fired the weapon inside Fosco Park on Saturday morning and later confronted a Chicago police SWAT team while holding the firearm to his own head, according to a law enforcement source. Ultimately, the 23-year-old Uptown resident was taken into custody, and no injuries were reported.
It all started around 9 a.m. when a retired Chicago police sergeant working as park security asked the man, who is homeless, to leave the park at 1312 South Racine. The guard, 57, tried to escort the man from the premises, but the situation turned physical, and the 23-year-old struck the guard in the face, according to a CPD media statement.
Police said the man gained control of the guard’s firearm and the security officer ran out of the building to call 911. Meanwhile, the man began firing the guard’s weapon, sending park patrons running for cover. No injuries were reported.
There's audio from the scanner channels.
No one got seriously injured, and we suppose that's what the electorate wants. But we remember a time....but that's all in the past.
