A police officer who was killed at a northern Illinois hotel pleaded for her life before a man allegedly shot her with her own gun after she was disarmed during a struggle, a prosecutor said.
Bradley police Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic and her partner, Officer Tyler Bailey, were shot on Dec. 29 while investigating a noise complaint regarding dogs barking in a parked car outside a Comfort Inn. Bailey remained hospitalized Monday and is “fighting for his life,” Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe said during a bond hearing for Xandria Harris.
Rowe said during Monday's hearing that Harris' co-defendant, 25-year-old Darius Sullivan, had his own gun and used it to shoot Bailey in the head after the officers knocked on the pair's hotel room door, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Rowe said Sullivan then allegedly shot at Rittmanic as she tried to run away before he chased her down a hallway and pinned her against a door. As Sullivan and Rittmanic scuffled, he said Sullivan called out to Harris and she helped him disarm Rittmanic.

Joe BiXiden and Dr. Jill’s fault....
“Darius Sullivan”.......Obviously Amish

Naw, O’Sullivan.
Women wanted equality of opportunity, thinking that equates to equality of outcomes. Clearly that was incorrect. Expect to see a version of this on the battlefield in tge future.
Can’t be.
Progressives insist that an unarmed person isn’t a lethal threat, even when grabbing for someone’s gun with clear intent to murder.
So they shot a police officer. What does the prosecutor have to do with any of that? /sarcasm/
The Prosecutor is actually trying to pass this onto the Fed’s so the Death Penalty can be used.
People have been taught to expect equality of outcomes by the left. The left’s goal is leveling the scoreboard not leveling the playing field and most people believe that’s the way it should be. Too bad the officer learned that it doesn’t work that way in reality the way she did. I personally hope the two criminals get a lethal injection, but since they bees of the protected class it will never happen.
What is that new movie coming out? Oh yeah, The 355. Just keep transmitting and believing the lie.
Prayers for her surviving family.
And why would the Feds have time for some petty criminal shooting a police officer? They are trying to prosecute folks who did not attend the Jan 6 rally for insurrection.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
She was a lovely looking woman too, just doing her duty.
This sickens me.

Yes, she was. My suspicion is that she hesitated shooting the perp because she subconsciously worried about making a mistake because of recent convictions of police officers. Whatever caused her to not shoot at the perp cost her her life. Sometimes hesitation truly is the difference between being among the quick or among the dead.
RIP, officer.
I don’t know the story all that well.
One version had her reasoning for her life, with the perp
holding her gun in his hands.
You may be referring to an earlier moment.
Male cops can’t always win a two-on-one.
Over a noise complaint!! Good grief, these two brainiacs are facing at best, life in prison. Worse, federal capital case seeking death.
Well done youngins. Hope it was worth it.
Oh I’m sure Garland will approve it.
