Officer Charles Conlon was informed by a citizen of an armed robbery in progress at a drug store at the corner of Clark and Randolph Streets. Officer Conlon rushed to the scene and observed four armed suspects. As Officer Conlon chased one of the robbers, the offender turned and fired his gun mortally wounding the officer. As Officer Conlon fell another officer arrived on the scene and shot and killed the suspect. The other three suspects dissapeared into a crowd of people.
