Carmen Maldonado Chicago police officer has passed away, it is been alleged that she had died by suicide. She was a great police officer, and an even better person.
According to Jennifer Carolina with the username @__j_e_n_n__ on Instagram, “it’s time to do better for our officers! Canceling their days, over working them, not caring about the mental state, and not letting them spend enough time with their loved ones, is wild. Chicago needs to be better. These officers are people and have lives. Their families suffer as well! …Yes, they chose this career, but stop treating them like they are just a badge number. THEY ARE PEOPLE, who need to be PROTECTED as well! RIP beautiful angel. Thank you for your sacrifice and service.”
Meanwhile in Warren, police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide that resulted in the deaths of a woman and her 26-year-old son. According to authorities, the incident occurred on Sunday morning at a residence located in the 13000 block of Geoffrey Drive.
A 33-year-old man reported that his mother had pointed a gun at him, prompting the dispatch of officers to the area at approximately 8:30 a.m. After a brief altercation with his mother, the man was able to flee to a neighbor’s residence and dial 911.
The mother refused to respond when officers attempted to establish communication with her shortly after their arrival in the vicinity, according to the police. Multiple gunshots were heard from within the residence by authorities a few moments later.
According to the officers, the mother appeared to have slain her adult son, 26, and then herself upon entering the residence. Both were declared deceased. The mother had a history of mental health issues, and the 26-year-old had special needs, according to the police.
