How they died
Deadly force
An off-duty Cook County sheriff's correctional officer shot and killed Samuel Jackson, and wounded another man during an alleged attempted armed robbery on the West Side. The officer said he was on his way to work at 4 a.m. when two men followed him into a store and announced a robbery. One of the men allegedly pointed a pistol at the officer, who identified himself as law enforcement before firing several shots at the men, police said. Jackson was pronounced dead at a hospital.
