Patrolman Wolf was shot and killed when he stopped a car whose three occupants were wanted for shooting at another vehicle. The three suspects were captured minutes later after another officer rammed their vehicle with his patrol car and exchanged gunfire with them. He shot and wounded one of the suspects.
All three suspects had recently been paroled from prison. One of them had only served seven years of a 15 to 25 year sentence for second degree murder.
Patrolman Wolf had served with the Oak Park Police Department for 5 years and was survived by his wife and daughter.
