Turns out he did not do anything.

Illinois Cop's Death Will Be Declared A Suicide: Officials

CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities will announce that a northern Illinois police officer whose shooting death led to a massive manhunt in September committed suicide, an official briefed on the crime investigation told The Associated Press.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office has called a Wednesday news conference to announce "conclusive results" of the investigation. The official spoke to the AP Tuesday night on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

The investigation into the death of Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz determined that the Fox Lake officer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, other media outlets reported Tuesday, all citing anonymous sources.

A spokesman for the Lake County Sheriff's Office, Christopher Covelli, declined any comment Tuesday evening. The office said in a statement that it would not comment until the news conference.

Gliniewicz, a U.S. army veteran affectionately known as "G.I. Joe," radioed on Sept. 1 that he was chasing three suspicious men on foot. Backup officers later found his body 50 yards from his squad car.

Sounds questionable.

i thought they had a suspect, i guess they never found anyone to place it on.

So he jumped out and shot himself twice? Twice in the vest and one penetrated is the one that got him. Unless he was trying to commit suicide insurance fraud, seems like easier ways to do yourself.

EDIT: That's what it was, he wanted to die and his survivors (family) get a few hundred k.

I'm glad they figured it out and didn't pin up some innocent scapegoat for life/ death sentences, which I'm sure the "hero" cop didn't care.

He also had apparently been embezzling money for some time, and he thought they were close to catching him. That's really why he did it. I doubt it had anything at all to do with insurance money.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- An Arkansas police officer who sparked a manhunt and investigation by claiming he had been shot during a traffic stop was arrested Tuesday after he admitted to colleagues that the incident never happened and he had shot himself.

Arkansas State Police arrested 50-year-old David Houser on suspicion of filing a false police report. Houser turned himself in Tuesday and was booked into the Lonoke County detention center before being released on bond, according to state police and sheriff's office records.

Police shot and killed a six year old boy during a car chase in Louisiana last night. I am sure the car was coming right for them and it is all the driver's fault, no need to consider what you are shooting at.

LE tried to serve a warrant. Dad ran. Dad hit a dead end, and backed in to the police cruiser(s) trying to turn around and get away.


Still doesn't justify the death of the child.

[bcoop]

But, it definitely puts the guilt on the father.

I disagree. Some. Sure. Most even. But a child is still dead, and the father didn't pull the trigger.
