The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is saddened to report the loss of Officer
Thor Soderberg.
At approximately 3:45 yesterday afternoon, Chicago Police Officer Thor Soderberg, Star #14767, returned
to his vehicle at the end of his tour of duty. The vehicle was located in the parking lot of the police facility at
61st Street and Racine Avenue. While in that parking lot, the uniformed officer became involved in a struggle with a
24-year old male individual. During the struggle, the offender disarmed the officer and fatally shot him.
The
offender fled and is believed to have committed an armed robbery a short distance away. He fired additional shots, which
were heard by officers inside the police facility. Several officers responded and there was an exchange of gunfire.
The offender was shot during that exchange and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. His injury is considered
non-life threatening.
Soderberg, forty-three, was an 11-year veteran of the Department and was most recently
assigned to the Education and Training Division. He is survived by his wife.
