Chicago man charged with shooting officer
Police have arrested a Chicago man in the shooting an off-duty corrections officer after they say he showed up with a gunshot wound at the hospital where the officer was being treated.
James Tillman is charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with discharge of a firearm and attempted aggravated vehicular hijacking. The 21-year-old was ordered held without bond in Cook County this week.
Police say Tillman tried to rob a 34-year-old Cook County sheriff's correctional officer Sunday and shot him in the hand. They say he ran away when the officer fired a gun.
Tillman went to an Oak Lawn hospital later that day and was arrested.
A sheriff's office spokeswoman says the officer is expected to recover.
