Joliet officers were called about 4:10 a.m. for reports of a domestic battery in progress. Officers arrived to find Kimiki Truss' home on fire. Police entered the residence and were confronted with a hostage situation. Truss ran. Nakia Smith, 44, allegedly shot at the officers, and one officer shot at Smith while Smith was chasing Truss as she fled. Smith killed Truss, his girlfriend, and was himself shot by police.
