The investigation into the shooting death of a northern Illinois police officer shows the lieutenant was hit twice: once in his protective vest and once at an angle that allowed the bullet to enter his chest.
A local government official spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the ongoing investigation. He says the fatal shot was fired from above the vest in a downward direction.
Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Gliniewicz was shot dead Sept. 1 in the village northwest of Chicago. The sheriff's office has said Gliniewicz reported chasing three men before dispatchers lost contact with him.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office says several shots were fired, but hasn't said whether any came from the officer's weapon or how many times Gliniewicz was hit.
