A police officer, a doctor and a pharmaceutical assistant
were killed after a Monday afternoon shooting at Chicago's Mercy Hospital Mayor
Rahm Emanuel said in statements.
The shooting was a domestic incident, Chicago Police
Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said. The gunman's first victim was a woman he
had previously had a relationship with, Johnson said.
The gunman also died, though it is unclear whether he died
from police gunfire or a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Johnson said.
Chicago Police identified the deceased officer as Samuel
Jimenez, a father of three. He joined the force in February 2017 and recently
completed probationary training, becoming a full-fledged officer, Johnson said.
A procession was held for him Monday night.
