Will County Sheriff’s Office: Crest Hill man accused of hitting his wife stabs responding police officer, is fatally shot by police segeant
A man who authorities say stabbed a Crest Hill police officer was fatally shot by a second officer Monday in Crest Hill, according to the Will County Sheriff’s Office. Officers had been responding to a domestic battery complaint involving the man who was later killed, officials said.
Officers were sent to the 1400 block of Pioneer Road after receiving a 911 call from a woman around 6:45 p.m., during which she told the 911 dispatcher her husband had punched her in the face — and that there were children present. The dispatcher also was told the man had a knife, according to the sheriff’s office.
After at least four Crest Hill police officers arrived, Parks reportedly stabbed one of them in the leg, cutting the officer’s femoral artery, the sheriff’s office said. Authorities said after Parks attacked the officer, a police sergeant then shot Parks “several” times.
