The Chicago Sun-Times reported the incident occurred at a station “in the 500 block of East 67th Street.”
The suspect approached the deputy, 31-year-0ld Rafael D. Wordlaw, and allegedly “tried to rob him.”
Wordlaw and the suspect then exchanged gunfire and Wordlaw was shot in the chest.
Wordlaw attempted to drive himself for medical care, but ended up crashing his vehicle. He died from his gunshot wound.

that’s a tough neighborhood. Being out at night in Woodlawn/Englewood, something bad is almost guaranteed to happen.
Wonder if that's multiple reloads or a drum fed weapon? That's quite a lot of ammo for just 2 shooters. Would help to know the caliber of the weapons involved (9mm/5.56./other???).
At any rate it's infuriating and a sad comment on society.
RIP Deputy Wordlaw
70? Wow. Lots of spray ‘n pray. I’m surprised nobody in a nearby house or apartment wasn’t shot with that much lead flying around.
Has Wray call them “cartridges” yet?
