Black security guard who tried to stop shooting at a Chicago bar ended up getting killed by the police
A Chicago police officer shot dead a security guard as he was trying to stop a shooting by holding down a suspect at the bar where he worked, according to reports. The security guard, 26-year-old Jemel Roberson, was working at Manny's Blue Room, a bar in Robbins, Illinois, on Sunday morning when a patron who was part of a drunken group that had been kicked out of the establishment returned with a gun. The patron reportedly opened fire at 4am on Sunday, injuring several people.
According to witnesses, Roberson, who was armed at the time, grabbed one of the members of the group and held to him down and was waiting for police to arrive. "He had somebody on the ground with his knee in back, with his gun in his back like, ‘Don’t move,’" a witness present at the bar, Adam Harris told WGN-TV.
