Correctional Officer Rafael Wordlaw was shot and killed at about 1:25 am when he intervened in an armed robbery on the 500 block of E 67th Street, in Woodlawn, while he was off duty.
He was sitting in a car at a gas station when an armed subject attempted to rob his friend, who was pumping gas. Officer Wordlaw drew his weapon and attempted to intervene in the robbery. During a subsequent exchange of gunfire Officer Wordlaw was struck in the chest.
The subject was armed with two handguns, one of which had a drum magazine and converted to fully automatic. The offender fired 69 rounds at Officer Wordlaw during the shooting. One of the rounds struck Officer Wordlaw's firearm and disabled it after he fired one round, which struck the subject in the leg. Officer Wordlaw's friend was also wounded.
The man was arrested several hours later at a local hospital while seeking treatment for his gunshot wound. He was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, attempted armed robbery with a firearm, and numerous other felonies. He had recently been released from prison after serving only one year of an eight-year sentence for multiple felony firearms-related charges.
Officer Wordlaw had served with the Cook County Sheriff's Office - Department of Corrections for 4-1/2 years and was assigned to Division 6 of the Cook County Jail. Officer Wordlaw is survived by his father, who served with the Chicago Police Department, and his aunt who raised him.
Perp fired 69 rounds!

The Venezuelan gangs gave the greenlight to kill cops recently.
We have been invaded.
We are at war.
Without a Commander in Chief...adrift without a rudder.
Very much. Your hands are tied through law.
AGAIN, THE PEOPLE THAT LET THESE CRIMINALS BACK ON THE STREETS NEED TO BE CHARGED WITH WHATEVER THE CRIMINAL DOES. THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE...
Take your pick. Mix 'em match 'em :
DeShawn, Da'tavius, Jamal, Ta'qala, Kwamie, Busta, …
When the bullets are flying no one is safe.
Deliberate lawlessness of the left.
As if any criminal in Chicago needed permission?
Prayers up for him, his family and department.
“Without a Commander in Chief...adrift without a rudder.”
Better that way than either of the 2 pathetic losers at the top.
Perhaps all of them.
It’s a new one Cordarrow Thompson. I am just waiting for the press release, Cordarrow Thompson was given community service for his transgressions because somebody somewhere was a slave. UGH!
BKMRK.
He shot one round.
The perp unleashed a barrage, one of the shots struck the CO’s gun diabling it.
1 round vs. 69.
