CHICAGO — An 18-year-old was charged Thursday with fatally shooting a Chicago police officer after the two exchanged gunfire at close range.
The officer was responding to a call about a person with a firearm Wednesday when he was shot multiple times, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said during a news conference.
The slain officer, identified as Andres Vasquez-Lasso,"died while protecting Chicago and its people," the department tweeted. Two police cars responded to the call after which the suspect escaped and began running from officers, armed with a gun, police said. "Every officer in this police department, and for that matter, every officer in this country, is grieving today," Brown said Wednesday.
