Chicago Police Officer Shot at Close Range and Killed by 18-Yr-Old on Same Day Mayor of Violent City Blames Losing Re-Election on “Race” and “Gender”
By Amber Crawford | Mar 2, 2023
A Chicago police officer was shot and killed on Wednesday afternoon on the Southwest Side of Gage Park while he was chasing down an armed suspect.
Around 4:45 pm, several officers were called to the 5200 block of South Spaulding Avenue after a woman reported being chased by a man with a gun.
Officer Andrew Vasquez-Lasso, 32, was one of the officers who responded to the call and pursued the shooting suspect.
During the chase, the 18-year-old suspect suddenly turned and fired “at close range,” hitting Officer Vasquez-Lasso several times. Although he had been shot multiple times, Vasquez-Lasso was able to return fire, hitting the suspect in the head.
Right after the shooting, a cop screamed into the police radio, “10-1, 10-1. Officer down… Send an ambulance.”
