Arlington Heights DFC administers aid to injured police officer 12-12-13
The Chicago Tribune has updated its report on last night’s incident involving a barricaded suspect and the injury of a police officer, adding details that highlight the actions of Arlington Heights Deputy Fire Chief Ken Koeppen and other officers who provided immediate assistance to the wounded officer before paramedics arrived.
According to officials, Deputy Fire Chief Ken Koeppen played a crucial role in saving the life of Officer Michael McEvoy, who was shot in the chin during a tense encounter with a suspect. Koeppen was visiting the 1900 block of Windham Court when he saw flashing lights and rushed to help. He was having dinner with his father-in-law when he noticed the situation unfolding.
“I went out to help,†Koeppen said. “I only gave them a hand.†He worked alongside the officers to stabilize McEvoy, applying pressure to the wound and helping control the bleeding until paramedics arrived. “The police did a great job,†he added. Cmdr. Andrew Whowell described Koeppen’s presence as “an act of God†and emphasized that his quick response was instrumental in saving the officer’s life.
McEvoy, a 52-year-old veteran with 24 years of service, was among four officers responding to a call from a woman who reported that a man had violated a protection order by showing up at her home. The suspect, later identified as Eric M. Anderson, was holding her daughter inside the house. McEvoy was the first to enter and was shot in the chin. Two other officers helped pull him to safety, where Koeppen began providing medical aid.
Anderson, 41, was eventually subdued after a confrontation in which he pointed a gun at officers and forced his ex-girlfriend into a garage. Officers opened fire, striking him multiple times. He was taken to Northwest Community Hospital but was pronounced dead around 11:02 p.m.
McEvoy is recovering in critical but stable condition at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. According to Whowell, the injury did not hit any vital organs, though McEvoy lost a significant amount of blood. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Whowell also noted that there had been no prior incidents involving Anderson in Arlington Heights, and the department had not encountered him before. However, a protection order was issued earlier this week after the woman, who is 39, claimed Anderson had been harassing her. She reported that he continued to contact her despite the order, even following her to her workplace and sending her money and an apology card.
The woman described being approached by Anderson at a stoplight, where he punched her rolled-up window. When she returned home, he was waiting for her, claiming he knew her whereabouts and could bypass her home’s security system. She contacted police, who warned Anderson to stay away, but he continued to harass her through calls, emails, and threats.
Anderson was arrested and charged with two counts of electronic harassment in McHenry County. He was released on bond shortly after his arrest, and a court hearing was scheduled for December 23 regarding the protection order.
McEvoy, a patrol officer and forensic technician, has asked for privacy for himself and his family. His colleagues have praised his bravery and resilience during the incident.
