A massive manhunt is underway in a suburb north of Chicago after a police officer was shot dead while on a routine patrol.
Three armed and dangerous suspects, two white and one black, are at large after the cop was gunned down in Fox Lake, Illinois, at around 8am.
Authorities confirmed the officer died at the scene. WGNTV says he was shot in the head.
The cop, who is yet to be identified but is reportedly a 32-year veteran of the department, was found in a marshy area stripped of his gun and other equipment.
FBI and US Marshals are part of the huge the search which covers a vast area near Route 21 - a major highway connecting Chicago, which is around 60 miles south.

They took his radio. Listening to the manhunt
Are we seeing stormtroopers locking down Chicago?
Are we seeing doors being kicked in and armed “peacekeepers” in peoples’ living rooms?
Why is Chicago different from Boston?
I wonder if binocular guy ever stood directly in front of and to the side of a rifle when discharged. It’s really loud from that position. Especially when your not ready for it. He probably would have fell off the roof.
I hope they make sure to read them their rights and not put the handcuffs on too tight.
This isn’t Chicago. If you knew anything about the area you’d wouldn’t make yourself look so ignorant.

The logic of protesting police violence by hunting cops, thereby putting them even more on edge, escapes me.
But then, I suppose that’s not the true agenda.
No. There are no reports of that. There are reports of door-to-door canvassing.
Not that I condone how Boston handled the situation, but it was different because the suspects were terrorists who detonated a bomb at a public event. This is not that.
I know the conversation when those two guys were called in to SWAT.
—”Hey I need you guys to come in.”
“Oh man, its my day off”
—”Someone just killed one of us and is on the loose”
“Be there in five minutes.”
Route 21 is very well traveled but it’s hardly a “major highway”. 4 lanes through most of the towns but long stretches of two lanes as well.

Yup. Kinda jumps out at you doesn't it. Both of these clowns are idiots playing 'soldier'. You'll note they are probably pretty well silhouetted on the top of the roof as well. If someone was looking to bump them off, it would be easy pickings.
now, now...
Excuse me?
Yes that position is very loud when without hearing protection. Been there. OMGWTFBBQ loud.
Been a while since I have been in Fox Lake. Aint really a sub of Chicago. At least it wasnt back then.
I recall the huge shoot-out where one of the brothers was run over by the other.
A fusillade by the cops, and almost no hits.
Looking for two white guys and a black guy is a little scant on details. It’s the public who usually draw the noose tight on such situations. A little more info may help besides two white guys and a black guy?
Criminals trying to make a getaway? Or Commie revolutionary types?
