Cops: Teen fatally shot trying to rob off-duty cop
By Jeremy Gorner
Tribune reporter
9:25 AM CDT, June 18, 2011
An off-duty Chicago police officer dressed up as a clown for a South Side fundraiser shot and killed a teen who held him at gunpoint tonight after the event, authorities said.
The officer, who is assigned to the Near North police district, was in his clown outfit for a fundraiser for a day-care business. The event, attended by a group of 50 children, was near West 87th Street and South Damen Avenue.
At 10:10 p.m. after the event ended, the officer went to his car and a teen approached him, asking him for money, authorities said. When the officer said he had no money, the teen pulled a gun on him, authorities said.
During a struggle with the teen, the officer grabbed hold of the gun, opened fire and killed him.
The officer sustained minor injuries, according to a release from police News Affairs.
A weapon was recovered from the scene.

Glad the officer was able to go home, and btw, good to be helping out with a fundraiser on top of it. I sure don't envy this officer in the political storm to come, and having to live with what they were forced in to doing: something remembered long after those who will be most outraged tomorrow have forgotten all about it.

I'll bet his last thought was, "Man, I hate clowns!"
