A whole gaggle of goblins pulled a home invasion Tuesday night in Palos Park in Southwest Cook County, trying for a big score in a nice neighborhood.  What the came away with was a lesson that not everyone in Cook County is an unarmed victim.

One thug sprung fatal leaks while another made it to the local hospital where he was arrested.  Sadly, it looks as though he will make it.

Cook County and Palos Park police pursued even more suspects that were soon captured.

All in all, it was a happy ending.  Not a perfect ending, but happy nevertheless.

Home Invader Shot Dead by Homeowner; 2nd Suspect Wounded

PALOS PARK, IL (Palos Patch) — A homeowner fatally shot one male home invader and injured another late Tuesday night at a house near 118th Street and Will-Cook Road. Other invasion suspects fled, leading police on a pursuit into Markham where they were captured.

The homeowner holds a valid conceal carry license, the Cook County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.

A neighbor told Patch late Tuesday she heard several shots around 11 p.m. Palos Park and Cook County Sheriff’s Department officers responded to the scene.

“We heard some popping sounds,” another neighbor told WGN on Wednesday, “and at that time we thought it was like firecrackers or whatever, it didn’t seem very close to us, then we heard like a getaway car coming at a high speed from our neighbor’s driveway.”

One suspect was tracked down at Palos Community Hospital where he was being treated for a gunshot wound. Other suspects were arrested after a police pursuit that ended on Interstate 80 and Kedzie Avenue in Markham.

The case is currently under investigation by the Cook County Sheriff’s Department.

 

We can’t wait to see what crimes the Cook County State’s Attorney charges the surviving members of the home invasion crew.  Perhaps disorderly conduct or loitering?

    1. “I don’t hate cops.”

      Then why is it you NEVER have a kind word to say about any of them. There are far more stories about cops doing what they should be, and going beyond what is required of them. Do you ever take notice?

      Your actions speak far louder than your words.

    2. You don’t know me. You know NOTHING of my “actions,” son.

      You defile the memory of he whose name you’ve coopted.

      I have nothing good to say about cop/killers run rampant this last few years.

      Better yet, why do you circle-jerkers WORSHIP them?

    3. Actually little boy ken, we do know you and your actions. Sorry, but they aren’t that much to be desired. It’s hard to do anything special from your basement, next to the dungeons and dragons board.

    4. It is obvious that you do hate cops. But why would you try and pretend that you don’t? What happened in your past that caused so much hatred and stereotyping towards an entire profession? I’ve never had a bad experience with the police other than getting a ticket, and I was speeding. From what I’ve seen, those that have the level of hate you do, have it because they were caught committing crimes, repeatedly. But instead of taking responsibility for their actions they blame the police. If this isn’t it then please explain your hatred. If this is Eric Holder, no explanation necessary.

    5. Ken ought to be smiling from ear to ear about Dallas. Have to wonder if he was there behind one of the rifles.

    6. No Ken, I don’t know you, and based on what you write on here, I’m glad I don’t. Those are your “actions,” and they speak very loudly.

      I defile no name. He would have though of you exactly as I do.

      Fools like you seem to confuse respect with worship. We know they do a job most of us would not want to.

      If you’re such a big man, why don’t you do their job so you can show everyone how it should be done?

      If you really stand by all the garbage you write on here, why don’t you get up in public at a GSL meeting and spout it in front of everyone?

  1. I wonder WHY the Cook County Sheriff’s Department felt it necessary to mention or disclose the FCCL information, when a simple FOID would have sufficed for the incident. Somebody in the Cook County Sheriffs (Dart) Department needs a bit of training in the niceties of information disclosure. Would be nice to hold LawnDarts feet to the fire on this.

  2. Charge: jaywalking.

    Good shoot. Needs more dead turds though.

    As for ken: dem undeeground would surely welcome your presence.

    1. Pepsy: I’m a Reagan Conservative (with Capital R and C, beyotch!)

      DP: I HAVE been falsely accused of crime (traffic–misdemeanor–up to 364 days in JAIL) and had an officer (Mohammed, by the way) testi-LIE during the entire trial. I’m shocked to say I don’t even know WHY the judge threw it out, but he did, thank God! There wasn’t ONE WORD of truth that came out of that cop’s mouth, and he wanted to see me in JAIL for a year, for sure.

      That was NOT the only or WORST encounter I’ve had with a corrupt gendarmerie, but it probably also won’t be the last.

      To you THINKING people here, I say, simply, KNOW YOUR ENEMY. I work with cops, and I’ll tell you this, they’ll follow orders. If they say JOHN BOCH is a known subversive, armed to the teeth, and he’s threatening REVOLUTION, go get ‘im!, those cops will GO GET ‘im. Constitution or not. And that is your enemy, the cop next door. The reservist just “following orders,” like all the good Nazis tried after the war. Just decide what you’ll do when that happens. Will you be disarmed. Or will you take out four or five of them so the next house down the line will have fewer to fight?

      it’s coming. Are you ready?

      Read “One Second After,” “One Year Later,” “Alas Babylon,” “On the Beach,” and of course, your BIBLE.

      It’s almost over. The brown shirts will begin it.

  3. I am a fairly new concealed carry license holder and I live in a fairly small college town in east central Illinois…..on July 4th I went on a walk not far from where I live..now I am old and beat up from years of working in factories and have arthritis in my spine and hips, but the doctors tell me I still need to get out and at least walk some to alleviate some of the pain….a patrol officer from the city police dept. pulls up into a driveway just in front of me ….gets out of his squad car and asks me if I am OK as I sometimes walk with a slight limp when I have arthritic flare ups….I was kind of surprised because as a pedestrian I have never been stopped and questioned by a cop ever…off course I was polite to him and he was polite to me as well….he did ask for ID and I gave him my drivers license….and I was packing my gun as well….from my concealed carry training I was instructed to tell the officer if in the event of a routine traffic stop to show the officer my CCL license as well as my drivers licence and insurance card…..in this instance I was standing face to face with a law enforcement officer with the same amount of firepower as he had….wow …just gave him my drivers’s license and said nothing more….did he see my gun slightly imprinting through my shirt?…I don’t know….he called in my ID and paused briefly before telling me to have a good rest of the evening….now he was white and I am white so there was no racial profiling so I don’t know what his ulterior motive was in stopping me….even though he was polite, I can’t say that I was particularly happy about being stopped like that as a pedestrian minding my own business…..any thoughts or concerns …please respond…..thank you

    1. Maybe he was genuinely concerned about you, sir. The “asking for ID” part was probably for two reasons: 1. to show he really was working, and 2. it’s always embarrassing to have contact with a serial killer and then let them get away.

      Ken can piss off. I think he’s just a troll who gets off with the conflict he stirs up. I can’t help that his momma, sister and daughter all have a thing for men in police uniforms. Or that his ex-wife and dog both like men & women in police uniforms. Ken, maybe it’s just you they don’t like?

      I saw some pictures of the white trash who orchestrated this crime. Three brunettes and two men. They probably thought home invasion was an easier gig than strip clubs. It’s unknown if there is a lesson learned here.

    2. Johnjohn, as a police officer it sounds like someone called the police on you for whatever reason. The officer, based on the call, conducted a street stop on you, discovered nothing criminal was occurring and ended the contact. As a law abiding citizen you were confused by being stopped. But imagine that you called the police on somebody walking by your house that you deemed suspicious, what would you expect the police to do? Would you want them to make contact with the person or just drive by? The police I have working in my neighborhood would just drive by, if they showed up at all. That is the height of frustration that my “brothers in blue” won’t do their basic duty. So sir, try to think about it from another perspective. Good luck and stay safe. Keep training with that CCL. In a stressful situation you will fall to the lowest level of your training, and I fear our country is headed for a very violent future.

  4. I pray for all the men and women in uniform that put their lives on the line for the many deserving and undeserving they protect. God be with the police officers and their families in Dallas and across our country.

  5. Anita is still trying to figure out how to charge the homeowner with something.
