Officer down Chicago PD

Commander Paul Bauer was shot and killed today while attempting to arrest a subject who had just run from other officers near the James R. Thompson Center, a state government office building.

Other officers had attempted to conduct a subject stop on the man in connection with a shooting that had occurred several days earlier. The subject fled from the officers. Commander Bauer, who was in the area, observed the subject at the government building and attempted to stop him in a stairwell. The subject opened fire, killing Commander Bauer.

The subject was taken into custody moments later.

Commander Bauer had served with the Chicago Police Department for 32 years. He is survived by his wife and daughters.

Godspeed Commander, may you sleep well.

RIP, brother and Godspeed! I spent 22 years in the Law Enforcement field....sort of still at it in a related contracting sector. Losses like this are heart wrenching and have deep effects on not only his family and the community, but also his unit/precinct and police field at large. Very sad all the way around. A true loss.
