As two Chicago police officers tried to locate the source of gunshots on the
city’s South Side Monday night, they scrambled up an embankment and onto a
set of southbound train tracks, walking south and keeping an eye on a
northbound train as they searched for the potential shooter.
Police officials said Officers Eduardo Marmolejo, 36, and Conrad Gary, 31,
likely never heard the southbound train coming up behind them. According to
The Chicago Tribune, one officer’s body camera footage offered
investigators a glimpse into what took place as both men were killed.
“They had no idea the train was behind them,” Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago
police spokesman, told the Tribune. “They hear the noise (of the
northbound Metra train), we suspect. That masks the noise of the other train
that is right behind them.”
The oncoming South Shore train struck the officers on a viaduct over 103rd
Street, the Tribune reported. They were killed instantly. |
