ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said that the officer, who was driving a 2003 Hummer, pulled up next to a white pickup at a stoplight. The officer said the men in the pickup raised weapons at him, so he fired his gun.
Bond said it was too early to tell whether the two men fired any shots in return.
"We do know that the officer, in fear of his life ... potentially this could have been a robbery on the officer and he had to protect himself," Bond said.
Police are investigating whether the men intended to carjack the officer's vehicle.
"Based on the type of vehicle the officer it had, the time it occurred and the isolated nature of the intersection, it could very well be that reason," Bond said.
The pickup the men were driving had a firefighter insignia on the plates and a special license number, but fire officials said the person driving the vehicle was not affiliated with the fire department."

There have also been rumors that he gave the fatwa that led to the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000, which killed 17 U.S. sailors. He has refused to appear in court to answer questions regarding any of these accusations.") (April 6, 2006)
