Investigators at a Bridgeport convenience store where police shot and killed one of two robbery suspects. (E. Jason Wambsgans/Tribune)Cops kill robbery suspect; 2nd escapesPolice early this morning shot and killed one of two robbery suspects and surrounded a Bridgeport neighborhood convenience store for more than four hours thinking the second suspect might still be inside.
Officers are on the scene of a police-involved shooting at a JJ Peppers Food Store on the city's South Side in the Bridgeport neighborhood.
The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. at the store located in the 3100 block of South Union Avenue, said Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer.
Police radio scanner traffic indicated there may be suspects still inside the store, but police could only confirm that at least one suspect was struck by police gunfire.
As of 2 a.m., it was not clear if there were hostages inside of the store. As of 2:15 a.m., a spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner's office said they had not been notified of a death at that address.
