A man wanted for murder in Chicago was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon after allegedly pulling a gun on police trying to arrest him at a restaurant in Calumet City.
Two Chicago police officers were part of the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force that attempted to arrest the man around 4 p.m. in the 1600 block of Sibley Boulevard, Chicago police said.
The man took out a firearm and the task force opened fire, striking him, according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service.
The man was wanted for murder in Chicago, attempted murder in Calumet City and home invasion by the Cook County sheriff’s office, according to the statement.
He was a 55-year-old man from Calumet City, according to public data from the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His name hasn’t been released.
An officer on the task force was taken to a hospital for treatment of an unspecified injury, authorities said.
Shortly after the shooting, police taped off the Roc and Ro BBQ, where the shooting appeared to take place.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability will conduct a use of force investigation. The Illinois State Police and U.S. Marshals Service will also conduct their own investigations.
