A 24-year-old Chicago man was charged with two felony weapons violations on Dec. 19, in connection with the deaths of two Chicago police officers who were hit and killed by a speeding commuter train earlier this week.
Officers Eduardo Marmolejo, 37, and Conrad Gary, 31, were investigating a report of gunfire near railroad tracks on the city’s Far South Side on Dec. 17, when they were hit by a southbound train going at least 60 mph, police said.
