ORGINAL POST:

It happened again. Another police officer killed this morning, this time in Lake County, Illinois and as expected, law enforcement is out en masse, in camouflage carrying high-powered firearms, helicopters flying overhead in search of three male suspects, one Black, two Caucasian. In addition, several canine units have also been dispatched.

As reported by the Chicago Tribune, the name of the deceased officer has not yet been released to the public.

Shortly before the officer was killed, he radioed in that he was checking out suspicious activity. A moment later (around 8 a.m.), the officer radioed in once more, stating that he was in pursuit. It was at this point that contact was lost.

… The officer was discovered in a marshy area, stripped of his gun and other gear, according to Lake County Undersheriff Raymond Rose. He died at the scene, the undersheriff said…. With the help of U.S. marshals, teams of police from throughout the county were searching woods and businesses throughout the area….

The areas of the manhunt including schools are on lockdown.

What we do know about the officer is that he has children.
