Regional 15 JULY 2015 NEWS River Forest police: Son wounds mom, kills man before fatal police shootout What began as a situation police are calling "domestic" eventually left two people deadd and three wounded after a Sunday morning shootout involving River Forest Police. Police say a River Forest man, identified as 24 year old Matthew Watson, shot his 59 year old mother and 60 year old William Carlson inside the home the three shared in the 100 block of Lathrop Avenue. Watson wounded his mother and killed Carlson, police said. When police arrived, they say he opened fire on them too. Watson died after a shootout with police. It began around 7:20 a.m., when a woman called 911 from the house complaining of shortness of breath before being disconnected. A dispatcher called her back but couldn't understand what the woman was saying. According to a recording of emergency responders' radio, officials assumed they were dealing with a domestic incident, so police officers responded to the home first. They were met by Watson, armed with a shotgun, and engaged in a shootout that left Watson dead and two River Forest police officers injured. "Responding officers were ambushed by an armed assailant with a shotgun," Deputy Police Chief James O'Shea said. "At that time, there was an officer involved shooting." One officer, a 15 year veteran of the River Forest force, was shot in his bulletproof vest, while a second police officer, a five year veteran of the force, was also injured, O'Shea said. On the emergency radio recording, one officer can be heard shouting, " Shots fired, he's got a shotgun! Shots fired, he's got a shotgun at the front door! " Later in the audio recording, an officer can be heard shouting, "You move and I'll kill you!" and, after the incident ends, "It appears we're OK." After the shootout, O'Shea said officers discovered the two gunshot victims inside the home. "It is believed those acts were committed prior to the officers' arrival," O'Shea said. "The officers were not involved in an altercation with anyone else in the home." O'Shea said the Illinois State Police recovered a shotgun at the scene during the investigation. The Cook County medical examiner's office conducted preliminary autopsies on Watson and Carlson on Monday. The report notes that Carlson died of a shotgun wound to his chest and ruled the death a homicide. Watson was killed by "multiple gunshot wounds," the report says. Watson'ss mother was reported to be in the hospital Sunday. The investigation is ongoing, according to O'Shea. It includes the River Forest Police Department as well as the Illinois State Police, the Cook County state's attorney's office, the West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force, and the Forest Park and Oak Park police departments.

3 International Manhunt in Mexico after cartel boss Guzman escapes prison Mexican police are chasing drug baron Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman again. The Sinaloa cartel boss, arrested last year, tunneled out of his high security cell, in his second jailbreak. Guards have come in for questioning. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said that he was confident in the police's ability to recapture Joaquin Guzman, after his weekend escape through a 1.5 kilometer (1 mile) tunnel starting in the shower area of his cell. "This represents without a doubt an affront to the Mexican state," Pena Nieto, on a previously planned trip to France, said of the jailbreak. "But I also have the confidence in the institutions of the Mexican state that they have the strength and determination to recapture this criminal." Pena Nieto's government had received praise for its tough stance on the country's cartels, arresting or killing six major kingpins including Guzman since coming to power in The president was elected on a pledge to bring order to the country after years of struggling with gang violence. Joaquin "El Chapo" ("Shorty") Guzman runs the Sinaloa cartel, which has smuggled billions of dollars' worth of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine into the US in recent years, and fought fierce battles for influence with rival gangs in Mexico. According to Interpol information, Guzman is 58 years old. Prison employees questioned Guzman, who had managed to bribe his way out of a jail cell back in 2001, was seen entering the shower area in his cell at 8:52 p.m. local time on Saturday, according to the National Security Commission. Soon after, he disappeared from the Altiplano high security prison, some 90 kilometers (55 miles) west of Mexico City. Investigators have since found a ladder, descending some 10 meters (32 feet) through a hole in the shower area. The tunnel itself, about 1.7 meters high and centimeters wide, was around 1.5 kilometers long and professionally excavated. Police found a motorbike mounted on rails, thought to be used to cart away soil, and equipment to pump air into the tunnel. The passage was also lit. Guzman was able to surface in an abandoned house; The Associated Press reported a local resident noting that outsiders had bought the disused property around a year ago, immediately starting construction. Mexico's Federal Attorney General's Office said on Sunday that its unit for organized crime was interrogating around 30 employees from various parts of the prison. President Pena Nieto ordered an investigation to discover whether the gang leader received inside help, after the jailbreak took place in his home state of Mexico. Mike Vigil, former head of global operations for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, said that swiftly recapturing Guzman before he reaches his own safe zones could prove crucial, adding that Mexican authorities underestimated the Sinaloa gang. "I don't think they took into account the cunning of Chapo Guzman and the unlimited resources he has. If Chapo Guzman is able to make it back to the mountainous terrain that he knows so well in the state of Sinaloa he may never be captured," Vigil said. Cross border manhunt Guatemala's Interior Ministry said it was watching its border with southern Mexico, while the US which had urged Mexico to extradite Guzman when he was captured last year similarly offered help. "The US government stands ready to work with our Mexican partners to provide any assistance that may help support his swift recapture," US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said, noting that Guzman faces multiple drug running and organized crime charges in the US. Days after Guzman's 2014 arrest, President Pena Nieto had said that another "El Chapo" escape could not be tolerated. "Given what happened in the past, it would be worse than deplorable, it would be unforgiveable," he had said. For further info: in mexico after cartel boss guzman escapes prison/a
