NBC 5 points out that Chicago police superintendent David Brown released a statement on the officer’s death, saying, “I ask for prayers on behalf of this officer’s loved ones as they mourn. I also ask that you keep all of our officers in your thoughts. They had a tremendously challenging year, and losing a fellow officer is never easy.”
