Illinois State Trooper killed executing search warrant in E. St. Louis, IL

[MAIL] An Illinois State Police trooper died from wounds suffered early Friday while executing a search warrant in East St. Louis.

Trooper Nicholas Hopkins, 33, of Waterloo, a 10-year veteran of the force, was wounded during an exchange of gunfire while serving the warrant at an East St. Louis home, said State Police Acting Director Brendan Kelly. He later died at a hospital.

After the shooting, police surrounded the home and arrested three people.

Police remained on the scene throughout the day, uncertain if another suspect was barricaded in the house, according to authorities.

The three people arrested were not identified.

For many decades East St. Louis IL has been a no-go zone for anybody sane.

Exactly the kind of insight one hopes to find here from the well-travelled members of Rantburg.
