Reddins, a five-year veteran with the department, is the first Oak Park officer to die in the line of duty since 1938.
Oak Park police said Reddins was working a patrol beat when he responded to the 1000-block of Lake Street around 9:30 Friday for a report of a person seen leaving a Chase Bank in the area with a gun.
Oak Park, Illinois is a near-in suburb of Chicago, actually sharing a border with the city. It is about 7 or 8 miles due west of The Loop.
