What Can You Shoplift from Home Depot That Is Worth Your Life?

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Bodycam video shows cop getting shot by man suspected of having just seriously wounded Brighton Park guard at Home Depot - Chicago Sun-Times

I know that most criminals are not the sharpest tools in the shed, but this is insane. The most expensive stuff at Home Depot you need a cart to haul away.

A security guard at Home Depot confronted 18-year-old Travon Chadwell about shoplifting. He shot the security guard in the head, and ran.

Two officers arrive and begin a pursuit of him into an alley.

One of them chases the suspect into an alley. As the officer turns the corner of a garage, he sees the suspect standing in the middle of the alley.

“What’s up, man?” the officer says.

In seconds, a single gunshot is heard as the officer starts to turn and duck back into the gangway. He falls to the ground and shouts, “I’m shot, I’m shot, I’m shot.”

He put two people in the hospital over something at a Big Box store that probably cost much less than $100. Then, while surrounded by Chicago cops, after having just shot one of them, he doesn't even try to surrender.

The Left would surely be screaming about Chadwell's death, except for the fact that they are still screaming about Adam Toledo, who was also shot in Little Village. That is the same neighborhood where this shooting took place.

Here is the video: "Bodycam footage shows Chicago cop get shot minutes before suspect dies in shootout with police." It includes some bodycam video, some security video and at least one bit recorded on a bystander's smartphone.
