SECURITY GUARD OFFICER DIES IN HAIL OF BULLETS

JANUARY 22 2012

CHICAGO IL - A 23-year-old security guard at a downtown Chicago Walgreens has been shot and killed.

Police say a shooter, later identified as 33-year-old Donte Simmons, a former employee of the store, walked in just before 10 p.m. Friday and opened fire on the security officer.

The victim, who police now identify as Troy Cameron, was shot multiple times in the head and body. He was found dead outside of the store in the city’s River North neighborhood.

It’s unclear whether the security officer exchanged gunfire, but bullets were found embedded in a nearby Chicago Transit Authority bus.

The suspect reportedly fled on foot but was later found dead in alley of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Simmons was also a suspect in another Friday shooting on Chicago’s North Side not far from where his body was found. No details about the victim in that shooting have been released.

A gun was recovered near Simmons’ body.

A Walgreens spokesman says counseling will be provided for employees at their request.

GUNMEN AMBUSH-SHOOT APARTMENT SECURITY GUARD OFFICERS

JANUARY 22 2012

MEMPHIS, TN - Residents at a North Memphis apartment complex said they feel unprotected Saturday night after both of their security guards were ambushed at gunpoint.

Around three o’clock Saturday morning, gunshots rang out in the back of the complex

Police say two security guards were sitting in a parked car when two men armed with handguns approached the vehicle and shot the security guard sitting in the driver’s seat. One of the men opened the door and police say he aimed his gun at the second security guard, but the guard fired back. Police say the suspect fell to the ground, but they’re not sure if he was wounded.

The security guard who was shot was transported to the MED in critical condition and police say the suspects fled in a dark colored vehicle.

Brenda Davis, a resident of the complex, said she moved to the complex less than a year ago and this is the second shooting that she’s aware of. Davis said when the guards who are in place to protect residents become victims, she knows it’s time to go.

“When I first moved over here I felt safe, but now I’m going to move,” she said. “I’m not going to stay here.”
