    Two Chicago police officers struck, killed by train

    CHICAGO — Chicago police say they are dealing with a “devastating tragedy” after two of their officers died Monday night after being struck by a passing train on the city’s south side.
    Chicago police tweeted that the officers were investigating a shots fired call when it happened.
    “Please pray for our 5th District Police Officers and all of our Chicago Police family,” the department said.
    No other details were immediately released.

    If they got the right person, watch for them to tack on charges of causing the death of two officers.

    That's beyond lame.

    Your hatred of cops is noted and disgusting.

    This is why I could never be a cop, being hated for just trying to do the right thing... yeah. I just wonder at that moment when you really need one, when you're stuck, trapped and a cop arrives to help you will you show that same contempt for that cop?

    I didn't hear it when the call came in so I don't know if they had caught up to him, struggled, ect before they were hit by the train. Too many shots fired calls in Chicago to listen in to each one. I guess they may try to pin it on him.

    I know, but tacking on charges is a noted occurence for these types of situations.

    Why shouldn't charges be tacked on?

    These cops had families, lives. That all ended when they tried to do their job because of some idiot with a gun.

    Would you feel the same way if one of your family members, a loved one who was a cop died in this way?
