Helicopters were to aid about 100 officers early Wednesday as the manhunt in and around the village of Fox Lake for the suspects the fatal shooting of Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz stretched toward a second day, a sheriff's office spokesman said.
Authorities from across the state and region poured into the village about 60 miles north of Chicago after the shooting Tuesday morning, some wearing tactical gear and toting high-powered rifles. Federal agencies, SWAT teams and 48 police dogs assisted in the search for the suspects, Lake County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Christopher Covelli said.
Officers could be seen taking up positions on rooftops and along railroad tracks, scanning the terrain with rifle scopes and binoculars. Others leaned out of helicopters with weapons at the ready. Residents were urged to stay indoors, and schools were put on lockdown.
Authorities said Gliniewicz radioed in Tuesday morning to tell dispatchers he was chasing three men on foot in Fox Lake. Communication with him was lost soon after.
"His backup arrived shortly thereafter and found him injured with a gunshot wound," Covelli said. Gliniewicz died of his injuries, Covelli said.

An emotional Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit described the slain officer as a personal friend, a three-decade member of the department and a father of four sons.
"We lost a family member," Schmit said of the 52-year-old officer known around town as "GI Joe." ''His commitment to the people of this community has been unmatched and will be dearly missed."
The area near the Wisconsin border area is popular for boating and other outdoor pursuits because of its forest preserves and a chain of lakes that partly encircles Fox Lake. Some longtime city dwellers move to the region for what is normally a quieter lifestyle.
Authorities urged residents throughout the area to stay home while they conducted the search for three men, two of them white and the other black, aided by the canines and helicopters.
The service of a local commuter train was halted, and residents who wanted to take their dogs out to relieve themselves were told to stay in their homes — with the job of walking the pets handled by police officers.

Several schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution Tuesday, according to Schmit. And on Wednesday, seven area schools canceled classes, Covelli said.
Gliniewicz's death is the third law enforcement fatality in Illinois this year, according to the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. It says firearms-related deaths in the U.S. are down 13 percent this year compared to the same period last year, Jan. 1. to Sept. 1; there were 30 last year and 26 this year.
Around Fox Lake, residents expressed their own sorrow over the death of the immensely popular Gliniewicz.
"This particular officer is a pillar in my community and definitely going to be missed, and (he) touched so many lives," said Gina Maria, a 40-year-old teacher who lives in the community.
Dozens gathered for hours along a street in the village to show their support for law enforcement officers.
Thirty-year-old Dan Raminick held a sign that said "Police Lives Matter." He lives a couple miles away and said officers came by Tuesday evening and thanked the crowd.
Caitlyn Kelly, a 22-year-old student, said she felt compelled to come out after other recent police shootings. She held a sign that said "Blue and Brave."

Way back when I lived in Round Lake Beach about 5 miles east of Fox Lake. Low violent crime, more stupid kid crime, 75% Caucasian, 20% Hispanic, 5% other. Lower middle class to $750,000+ houses in the area (if on a lake). If you're ever in the neighborhood be sure to stop at the Dog 'n Suds on Rollins Road in Fox Lake. Sammy's hot dogs is good as well.

These guys are not from Fox Lake is my bet. More likely from Waukegan or North Chicago. Or one is from the area (like within 1/4 mile of the incident), they made it back to that house and the two are holding up there until the heat dies down.

A couple days ago I had a conversation with an old cop friend. I only keep in contact with one person from the dept. Found out two cops I knew died. One was just a kid, maybe 26 years old. He was a cadet when I was in academy. I think he had gotten into the academy right after mine. Bright and eager. Both cops had committed suicide.

It seems that is common, when subjected to the lowest of the low, and I do mean the underbelly of society dealing with people that should have been killed at birth, if there could be a way to see how they turn out in life and also trying to deal with personal convictions and reality. Most get very jaded, cynical and feel trapped finding that the reasons they joined thinking they can make a difference, turns out to be abt the same using a sewing thimble to put out a forest fire.

Very thankless job, and because of the bad ones, crap splatters back on them, and the good ones get lumped along with the bad ones, that the politics of the group they are in be it corrupt or trying.

They see or think they have no out.

Huge bunch of solders do the same, and in far more numbers than cops, but that is skewed seeing the ratio of numbers involved.

Both cops had committed suicide.
This one might have too.


In a potentially stunning twist, authorities are investigating the possibility the Illinois police officer thought to have been gunned down in the line of duty instead might have killed himself in a staged suicide.

As Fox News first reported last week, two sources close to the case say evidence suggests the 30-year police veteran, Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewiecz, 52, could have shot himself -- in what was originally described by police as an execution-style murder.

Now, as police continue to actively investigate the case as a homicide, they say they aren't ruling out suicide.

could have shot himself...they say they aren't ruling out suicide.

Seriously, considering modern forensics that shouldn't be all that difficult to draw an accurate conclusion.

C'mon, you can commit suicide by being handcuffed and shoot yourself in the back of the head. What more do you need?

Authorities will announce that a northern Illinois police officer whose shooting death led to a massive manhunt in September killed himself, an official briefed on the 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 grand jury has indicted the wife of a disgraced northern Illinois policeman who embezzled money from a youth program and then staged his own suicide to look like a homicide.

Melodie Gliniewicz, 51, turned herself in Wednesday at the Lake County Sheriff's Office when she learned of the grand jury indictment on charges of helping divert money from a program for teens interested in law enforcement careers. She was taken to the county jail, and was released later in the day after posting 10 percent of her $50,000 bond.

A nail gun and an intense persistence to keep shooting yourself with it like this guy did... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-29/nail-gun-suicide-bankers-firm-probed-over-missing-millions
