Suspect in custody after officer shot in Romeoville
The investigation into a stolen vehicle quickly escalated when officers started a foot pursuit of the suspect, an exchange of gunfire ensued, and an officer was hit in the right shoulder.
Romeoville Police Chief Ken Kroll says the officer, who has been with the department for five to six years, was taken to Loyola University Medical Center and are getting"positive" updates on the officer's condition. Officials confirmed Hernandez was on parole and was taken into custody at 5:45 a.m. less than a mile away from the scene. He was found hiding in a backyard in shrubbery, Chief Kroll said.
A shelter-in-place order was issued prior to the arrest. It has been lifted as there is no longer a threat to the community.
