An off-duty cop shot a man in Hermosa Monday morning after a “verbal altercation,” DNAinfo Chicago reports. The man later died at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The 57-year-old police officer was assigned to the Mass Transit Unit. The two men also had “a confrontation” that happened “a few weeks ago,” Chicago Police Department chief Eddie Johnson said. “I have a lot more questions than I do answers at this time,” he said.
