A Chicago man faces 20 felony charges after authorities say he shot and killed a police officer and critically wounded another while being escorted through a local hospital over the weekend. Alphanso Tally, 26, was initially arrested in connection with an armed robbery on Saturday, according to the Chicago Police Department. Officers transported him to the Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital for treatment where, authorities say, Tally obtained a weapon and began firing.

A Cook County public defender was appointed to represent Talley, the office said in a statement. “Though this does not bring solace to this tragedy, it does bring the first step in accountability,” Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said Monday in a statement. “This shooting was a stark and heartbreaking reminder of the dangers our officers face all too often on this job.” The incident began when Tally was brought into the emergency department for treatment, according to the hospital.
