SECURITY GUARDS OFFICER BEATEN TIED UP DURING ROBBERY

ALBUQUERQUE NM Albuquerque police say a burglar dropped a safe and fired at an officer before being shot dead outside Archdiocese of Santa Fe offices in Albuquerque late Wednesday.

Investigators later found a security guard tied up inside the Catholic Center offices on St. Joseph’s Place NW near Coors Boulevard NW.

The unarmed guard told police he was making his rounds when he was confronted by two men who demanded money and beat him.

At about 10:30 p.m. police received a call about a burglary in progress at the Catholic Center. One of the first officers on the scene confronted a masked man carrying a safe.

The burglar then dropped the safe, pulled out a pistol and fire at least once at the officer. The officer returned fire striking the burglar at least twice.

The security officer is in good condition.

Chicago Security Guard Killed at Nightclub

A nightclub security bouncer and a partygoer celebrating his 30th birthday were shot dead outside a bar in Chicago’s River West neighborhood early Christmas Day, police and relatives said.

Robert Warren, 34, a security guard and factory worker Jose Duckins, 30, were both killed in the gunfire outside the Victor Hotel nightclub in the 300 block of North Sangamon.

Detectives Sunday were questioning a suspect who had been thrown out of the club earlier that night, but returned and “just started shooting,” Warren’s niece April Bullock said.

Her uncle, of the 7300 block of North Damen, “was just doing his job and he was killed for no reason,” Bullock added. “He had kids – we’re all in shock.”

No charges had been filed as of Sunday evening, and the shooting was still under investigation, Chicago Police Officer Veejay Zala said.

Armed Car Security Officers Engage Hijacker in Gunbattle

The FBI’s bank robbery task force is investigating a brazen daylight armored car hijacking outside a Heights-area grocery store.

The armed man grabbed the Triple D Security van about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday while it was parked at a Kroger gas station in the 1300 block of West 11th at Shepherd.

One of the guards was inside making a delivery when the hijacker approached the van and managed to get inside.

“He gained access between deliveries. How exactly that occurred is what we’re still piecing together,” said Special Agent Shauna Dunlap with the Houston FBI office.

A second employee was inside the van at the time.

A short gunbattle broke out during the hijacking, but there were no reported injuries, officials said.

The armored security van was later found abandoned at the Colonial Apartments, 900 N. Durham. The van appeared to have been struck by gunfire.

“He could have had a vehicle stashed at that location or a vehicle stashed close by,” Dunlap said.

Investigators did not have a detailed description of the hijacker.

He got away with an undisclosed amount of cash from the security van.

Crime Stoppers will offer up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest. Call 713-222-TIPS
