Chicago Police Officer John Bartholomew was shot and killed in the line of duty at the Swedish Hospital in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood.

Breitbart News reported on the shooting, noting that initial reports were that officers were shot and critically injured on Saturday at the hospital. NBC 5 then noted that one of the officers died from his wounds.

On Sunday, WGN-TV pointed out that the deceased officer is 38-year-old John Bartholomew.

Hospital officials indicated “the alleged gunman was a patient who was in the custody of law enforcement and was brought in for treatment at around 9 a.m.” He was checked for weapons yet somehow managed to come into possession of a gun and open fire on the officers.
