"Many more people" could have been shot if not for responding officers, a police superintendent says
A woman who was held hostage during a shooting spree Saturday that stretched from Chicago to Evanston, Ill., reportedly died early Sunday, potentially bringing the death toll from the rampage to five – including the suspect – according to reports.
At least two other people, and possibly a third, were critically wounded, reports said. The shooting of a 15-year-old girl was still being investigated, according to police.
"But for the brave conduct of Evanston police officers, many more people would have been injured," Chicago police Supt. David Brown told the Chicago Sun-Times.
The suspect was identified as Jason Nightengale, 32. Authorities said he killed three people randomly in Chicago and wounded several others, then traveled to Evanston, north of the city, where he shot and wounded a woman at an IHOP restaurant before getting killed himself in a shootout with police, FOX 32 of Chicago reported.

This is terrible of course but also a rare instance of a killer using an effective weapon - a G21.
So often these types have a piece of junk held together with duct tape, rubber bands, and hose clamps.
I'd rather he had such a gun.
It's not often that they use such a "respectable" gun like a Glock.
