Suburban Cop Killed

Oak Park, responding to a "Man with a gun" call:

• A police officer was shot and fatally wounded in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park Friday morning around 9:30 a.m.

  CBS News identified the officer as 40-year-old Oak Park Police Detective Allan Reddins, and he was declared deceased at 10:10 a.m.

  ABC 7 noted that Reddins responded to call about a person with a gun leaving a bank. Shots were fired upon Reddins’ arrival on scene.

  Reddins was shot in the left side and rushed to Loyola University Medical Center, where he died. The suspect was shot in the leg and he, too, was transported to Loyola, where he is in good condition.

  Reddins is the first Oak Park Police Department officer killed in the line of duty since 1938.

Deep sympathies to the Oak Park PD, his family, friends and co-workers during this trying time.
