SOUTH ELGIN, Ill. (AP) — Police fatally shot a suburban Chicago man early Wednesday after he opened fire on officers, wounding three, during an overnight standoff.
South Elgin Police Sgt. Mike Doty says 52-year-old Frank Dripps immediately fired a shotgun at officers as they responded to a call of shots fired at the condominium building about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Chicago late Tuesday. Doty says three officers were hit by gunfire and described their injuries as not life threatening. He said officers didn't return fire.
About a dozen area police departments and two SWAT teams responded to the scene and set up a perimeter around the building, while nearby residents were evacuated from their homes, Doty said.
He said Dripps barricaded himself inside a stairwell and was yelling vulgarities at police, saying "he would shoot officers if they came at him."

and have police randomly stop and frisk anyone who remotely resembles Frank Dripps. After all, that's the price of safety. We can't be too careful.
