Police officers and residents in south suburban Flossmoor came together Saturday in an effort to find peace following the controversial July shooting in which, according to police, a woman wielding a knife was shot and killed by a police officer.
The forum became heated at times, with people expressing outrage over the death of Madeline Miller, 64. Miller, who was wielding a knife, was fatally shot by Flossmoor police officer who arrived at her apartment in July on a domestic disturbance call, authorities said. Miller sustained multiple gunshot wounds, and her death was ruled a homicide by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
