*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN
ILLINOIS OFFICER DOWN / MANHUNT UNDERWAY

[Image: article-foxlake9-0901.jpg]
An urgent manhunt is being conducted across northern Illinois for three men suspected of killing Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz. RIP.

While detectives have told the public to report suspicious activity, those suspects have only been identified as two white men and one black man, making it difficult to know exactly who to look out for.

He was walking toward three men Tuesday morning, radioing dispatch that he was responding to "suspicious activity," then dispatch lost contact with him. The officer sent as backup found Gliniewicz on the ground near a marsh area. He died at the scene and his gun was found nearby.

The shooting touched off an aggressive manhunt. A half-dozen helicopters took off and snipers staked out on rooftops, while SWAT teams in tactical gear scoured 2 square miles, looking for the three suspects.

"We had over 400 police officers out here yesterday. We had over 45 canine units and numerous aircraft," Covelli said, adding that officers would now conduct "saturation patrols" in a wider area. Several school districts in the search area canceled Wednesday classes.

The 52 year-old served as an adviser, mentoring aspiring police officers in the city's Explorer program. "He meant something to this community," one of his trainees Zachary Point said. "He made it a better place; you felt comfortable."

Murders are rare in Fox Lake and according to state police, there haven't been any reported in several years. The community will hold a vigil for their fallen lieutenant Wednesday night at 6 p.m.
