More than 100 police, using dogs and helicopters, searched northern Illinois overnight for three suspects in the killing of Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, a veteran police officer in Fox Lake, Illinois, who was shot on Tuesday and later died of his wounds. Gliniewicz had radioed Tuesday morning to say he was pursuing three "suspicious subjects" on foot, and then he stopped responding to police dispatch. Schools in the Fox Lake area were on lockdown Tuesday and closed Wednesday, and police ordered a no-fly zone in the area and asked people to stay locked indoors and report any suspicious activity. The FBI is helping state and local police in the hunt.
Fox Lake is a town of 10,500 about halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee. "I've lived here for 30 years and never had to lock my door until now," resident Dan Christensen, 64, told Reuters. For more information, watch the Associated Press article below. Peter Weber
