Chicago-area officer shoots, kills man who pointed BB gun

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (AP) — Suburban Chicago police say an officer fatally shot a man who rear-ended his vehicle and then pointed what turned out to be a BB gun at him.
Bridgeview police say on Tuesday night the officer had taken 32-year-old Joseph L. Jesk’s girlfriend into custody after arresting her for shoplifting. After Jesk argued with the officer, Bridgeview spokesman Ray Hanania says he jumped into a van and followed the police SUV for about a block before rear-ending it.
