FBI: 2 agents shot while serving warrant near Chicago
PARK FOREST, Ill. -- Two FBI agents were shot Tuesday morning while serving an arrest warrant in suburban Chicago, FBI officials say.
An FBI spokesman tells Crimesider the agents were executing the search warrant at a home in Park Forest, about 35 miles south of Chicago, when they were shot and wounded. They both suffered non-life-threatening injuries, FBI spokesman Garrett Croon said.
The suspect was later found in the home dead, Croon said. Croon didn't immediately have more information about the suspect or why agents were serving the warrant.
The location is near Rich East High School in Park Forest. The Rich Township High School District 227 didn't return messages seeking comment from CBS Chicago.
Officials at School District 163 in Park Forest, however, told parents of children who normally walk or ride the bus to school to keep them at home because of an "unsafe situation."
The injured agents were treated at nearby hospitals and released Tuesday afternoon.
