At Rest

Deadly force
Cook County correctional officer Arlin McClendon Jr. was killed after he and two other off-duty correctional officers pulled over an SUV they believed was being driven by a colleague and feigned a carjacking attempt. The colleague's wife and child were in the SUV, but the colleague, who was in a other ahead of them, got out and fired at McClendon, killing him.
