How they died

Deadly force

Officer Tim Gramins shot Raymond Maddox 17 times when Maddox allegedly fired at him. At about 5 p.m., Gramins saw Maddox driving a Pontiac Bonneville on the Edens Expressway after a reported robbery at the Fifth Third Bank in Northbrook. Gramins pursued Maddox into a residential neighborhood. Maddox turned right onto Kilpatrick, slammed on his brakes, and got out of the car with a Smith & Wesson 5906 9mm pistol. Maddox allegedly fired at Gramins as he charged toward the patrol car. Gramins returned fire. Initial reports indicated that Maddox had shot Gramins, but police later said Maddox had missed.
