Superintendent says four cops shot at one killed during traffic stop

Chicago police have arrested all three suspects in the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old female police officer who was killed during a traffic stop on the South Side as the nation's third largest city grapples with yet another weekend of deadly gun violence. Ella French, the 29-year-old officer who had just returned to active duty from maternity leave, was killed and her partner was seriously wounded during the armed confrontation with three suspects. French is survived by a two-month-old daughter. She was one of 10 people killed and 64 wounded by gun violence throughout Chicagoland over the weekend. French’s death was the first fatal shooting of a Chicago officer in the line of duty since 2018 and the first female officer fatally shot on the job in 33 years. The two officers were fired upon after a vehicle carrying two men and a woman had been pulled over at 9pm, said Eric Carter, Chicago police first deputy superintendent, at a news conference early Sunday. The officers returned fire, and one of the people in the vehicle was also wounded. The wounded suspect was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, and their condition was unknown. All three suspects have been taken into custody, according to police. Their names have not been released as of late Sunday.
