Chicago police shoot, critically injure wanted man armed with knife at River North hotel: CPD
Chicago police shot and critically injured a man armed with a knife at a downtown hotel on Monday afternoon, CPD said.
The shooting happened just before 2:30 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 30 East Hubbard Street in River North.
Police said it all started when officers saw a man, who they described as a “wanted offender,” armed with a knife in the 0-100 block of West Hubbard Street.
“I saw a guy with a knife on him and then five, four, six cops chasing him from the tunnel or the other street over there. I heard, ‘drop the knife, drop the knife’ multiple times. I was, I don’t know, 10 feet away from them,” said Pedro Priori, a witness who was walking to his bus stop. “Luckily, I didn’t get in between the thing, but I was very close.”
The man fled from officers, who chased him into the hotel, police said. Officers deployed Tasers, but police said they were not effective.
Police said the man disregarded officers’ directions and turned toward them, still holding the knife. Two officers then fired shots, striking him.

Trying for that second bite at the apple can be really stupid, get ya shot. Thanks, Gun Bunny. FGS-worthy articles are pretty thin on the ground these days.
No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.

(YAWN…..) Another knife to a gun fight. Ho hum.
But seriously, when Officer Not-So-Friendly tells you to DROP THE KNIFE, then it behooves you to drop the sharp edged impliment. That is, if you want to stay alive, and not become a perforated leaking sieve.
I think certain people in L.A. could take some lessons from you Tox. Her husband is the bassist for the band Weezer. FAFO
Yep, takes a special kind of stupid to go up against 4,5,6 LEOs with a knife. Dood shoulda just kept running, that way he’d of only gone to jail tired and not to the hospital tired…and leaking fluid.
Acquire the target, pickle off the fish, then clear datum. Don’t give the target a chance to fire back. That about cover it, Big Guy?
Defend your natural rights with any weapon you have…or can get your hands on…up to and including a 9 mm. There are some that say the Ruger shoulda been chosen over the Bay-Rhetta back yonder and that “political influences” may have made the difference.
Back to the FGS hunt…the struggle has been real.
Naw, we were special. After dropping the bloodhound on datum, we’d monitor for BDA- a torp exploding is pretty loud- and set up for a re-attack.
Betcha betcha y’all monitored the BDA/Ocean Shattering KA-BOOM from a safe distance…with another bloodhound at the ready to be “unleashed”. Wasn’t like you could go land that P-3/P-8 on a nearby flat top. (dodges a thrown flight helmet)
True north?
That’s the compass I used as a 2LT! Fortunately it is not my moral compass.
Dont know if yall tracking this:

Society seem to be recovering…? /S
This one didn’t make the cut, -Dog. Not what I look for in an FGS.
*grin*
Just some S-2 for the people. Figured FGS would be ironic enough?
