Chicago police officer dressed as clown shoots man fatally in 1900-block of West 87th Street on South Side | abc7chicago.com
There's a movie that starts with Chicago "U.S. Marshals" dressed as a clown before a raid. I can't remember what it's called.
Anyone seen Switch lately?
Sounds like pretty good DT stuff to take gun from him. Good to see it ended well.
AN OFF-duty Chicago police officer dressed as a clown shot and killed a teenager who held him at gunpoint.
The officer was in costume for a day-care centre's fundraiser that was attended by a group of children, the Chicago Tribune reported.
After the event ended at on Friday night, the teen approached the officer as he was walking to his car and asked for money.
When the officer said he had no money, the young man pulled a gun on him.
During a struggle, the officer grabbed the gun from the teen and fatally shot him.
The newspaper said the officer sustained minor injuries and uthorities were investigating the incident.

Yeah, with Wesley Snipes and Tommy Lee Jones (he's the US Marshall dressed as a chicken) and he is looking for Snipes who is being framed by another "bad" Marshall.

If you put that in a book, no one would believe it. Originally Posted by Aussie George

The officer did a good job. With that said, a story like this would've been nightmare fodder to me as a child.

So next time there's a terrorist attack, they might just send in the clowns, huh?
Seriously, how much street cred did that guy lose by getting taken out by a clown.
