Here we go again... Wonder how this will turn out.

Lake County police officials say a Fox Lake police officer has been shot and a manhunt is underway in the village for two armed suspects.
Fox Lake village hall has been closed and Grant Community High School placed on a hard lockdown today due to the police manhunt, said George Filenko, commander of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force.
Grant High School District 124 Superintendent Christine Sefcik said she was ordered to go on lockdown by Fox Lake Police. Sefcik said the school went on lockdown around 8:30 a.m. She said all students and staff are being kept away from exterior glass and out of view.
Meanwhile, Metra is reporting that the Milwaukee District North Line railroad tracks near Ingleside station have been closed. Commuters are advised to use either Long Lake or Fox Lake stations. Passengers are being bused from Fox Lake to station to Long Lake station.
Filenko said an officer was shot near Rollins Road and Route 59. The officer's condition was not immediately available.
Dispatch reports indicated police were searching for two men who might have taken the officer's gun and pepper spray.
Filenko said police are looking for two men who should be considered armed and dangerous.
ABC 7 is reporting police said someone was shot near an old cement plant in the 100-block of Honing Road. Officers were seen searching a wooded area near the scene around 8:40 a.m. Canine units were brought in from various jurisdictions, including McHenry County.
Rollins Road is closed from Route 59 to Grand Avenue. Investigators also blocked off part of the frontage road leading to Route 12.
Residents should take caution and call 911 if they see anything suspicious.

Last i heard the hunt was on for 1 white male, and 1 black male. Hopefully this isn't some sort of cop killing in the name of some BS cause.

"So if the federal government won't intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!"

Lake County Sheriff's Dept. Det. Chris Covelli said a Fox Lake police officer was shot while responding to a call of three suspicious people near Route 12 and Sayton Rd around 7:52 a.m.

After communication was lost with the officer, his backup arrived on the scene to find him injured with a gunshot wound, Det. Covelli said. A law enforcement source says the police officer has died.
