Two newly appointed Chicago police officers were killed in pursuit of an armed suspect on Dec. 17, hit not by a stray bullet, but a 60 mile-an-hour commuter train.

Eduardo Marmolejo, 37, and Conrad Gary, 31, were investigating a suspected shooting on the city’s Southside—an area once renowned for fearsome violence—after receiving an automatic alert triggered by gunfire sensors.
