A crowd of Chicago residents gathered Wednesday evening to remember of Ella French, a Chicago police officer fatally shot during a traffic stop.
"Officer French died in service to our great city," said Philip Cline, the Executive Director at Chicago Police Memorial Foundation. "A small part of every one of us died when we lost Ella, not just members of the police department, but every Chicagoan." French, who had served more than three years on the department, and two other officers assigned to the department's Community Safety Team were conducting a traffic stop on a vehicle with three occupants around 9 p.m. Saturday when they were fired upon, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said at a news conference Sunday.
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
