A man suspected of shooting two Chicago police officers inside a hospital room Saturday morning had been a fugitive for weeks, had two violent felony cases pending against him, had escaped from electronic monitoring, and was listed as an absconder by the Illinois Department of Corrections, according to court records and multiple government sources.
The officers were standing guard over the man at Swedish Hospital, 5140 North California Avenue, when he gained access to a gun and shot them around 10:50 a.m., CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling said.
On January 11, (Judge) Lyke then gave the man permission to leave home to attend classes at Truman College in Uptown for between five and 11 hours each day, Monday through Thursday, court records show. On January 28, Lyke expanded that window to allow movement for between seven and 16½ hours per day so the man could go to school at Truman, according to a court order.

BECAUSE SO FAR-—JUDGES HAVE NOT BEEN THEIR PRIMARY TARGETS...
I wish one of Joe Pedo’s skanky, Dipstick Court judgettes from the Caribbean will find those worthless ankle bracelets useless and make them illegal. They aren’t worth a crap.
From the electric chair to ankle monitors.
How did one crook overpower 2 Cops?
I read the article - no where is the name of the suspect mentioned! Is he a minor? Transexual? Federal employee? Nobody knows!!!
Someone did not search the criminal well enough. There was a third gun present.
Initially, I guessed that the thug wrestled a gun from one of the cops. The last report is that he had another gun that went undetected.
If you read the full article, the suspect had a long history of arrests for violent crimes without any real legal consequences. A soft judge let him roam the streets because he enrolled in community college classes.

+++++++++++++++++
Maybe it was two Bettys?
Judge Lyke:
Me no likey!
I wonder why the prisoner wasn’t at least shackled by the feet. But maybe that’s not allowed anymore in Chicago.
They too him to the Swedish hospital so he must be from Sweden
Sounds like the system is working as designed.
Soros needs to hand out some bonuses.
If judges aren’t going to incarcerate or incinerate, legislators must mandate lengthy prison sentences and/or DP.
Yep, whole article no name. A disgrace
Along with their counterpart government workers and their families.
An officer died in the shooting and the other is still fighting for his life. I could not find the name of the killer. My prediction: Mohammed Something or other.
Sadly the officer who died was a 38 yo male
SHITcago

How can we have crime if the judges lock up the criminals?
From a comment on the Second City Cop blog:
“Just got this…
Prisoner had the gun on him the whole time
Went into CT scan
Tech saw the gun yelled gun
The offender got the gun
Shot both officers shot at the tech but she survived and then fled.”
