CHICAGO — It was the veteran Chicago cop’s dream come true when his son was assigned to the same police district on the South Side.
But early Wednesday, the now-retired father’s worst nightmare came to pass as he raced to his son’s hospital bed. The 25-year-old officer was fighting to survive a gunshot to his head during an off-duty incident not far from police headquarters.
“He is shaken but strong for his family,” William Bradley, deputy chief of the department’s Bureau of Organized Crime, said of the father, a former colleague. “He is leaning on his faith to bring (his son) along.”
