A man who police said was armed with a knife was shot to death by police in Elk Grove Village Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Officials said officers responded to calls of a man with a knife at a home in the 200 block of Fern Drive just before 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Upon arrival, police said the man, still armed with a knife, began to walk away from the home and toward officers before confronting them.
Police said that an officer discharged their weapon at this time, striking the man in an unknown location.
The man was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's office identified the man as 24-year-old Jack A. Murray.
Authorities said three police officers were also transported to a local hospital for evaluation, though it was unclear if any had sustained any injuries.
