Two 15th District officers responded to a tripped security alarm at a home on the 900 block of Wakeling Street. When they knocked on the door a man answered and told them everything was OK with him, the other man in the home and a woman in the home. Since the man wasn't the homeowner, the officers asked to speak to a female resident who said everything was OK but signaled to the officers that that wasn't the case. Police said that the man then pointed a gun at the officer's head. The suspect shot three times, said investigators. Police returned fire, killing him.
