Incident

Sergeant Gerald E. Doll was shot and killed during a traffic stop. He spotted a station wagon speeding north on N. Cicero Avenue and pursued the vehicle until it stopped at the corner of W. Shakespeare Avenue. As Sergeant Doll approached the vehicle the driver produced a sawed off-shotgun and fired at point-blank range. Sergeant Doll was fatally wounded in the attack. The gunman and his female companion then fled into an alley. Another officer who had joined the vehicle pursuit followed the two, shooting as he ran. He then returned to help Sergeant Doll. The woman was found by police minutes later in a garage, seriously wounded. The man was discovered early the next morning in a gangway, dead from gunshot wounds. Sergeant Doll was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Chicago Police Department for 11 years.

Survivors

He was survived by his expectant wife and four children.

Tributes

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Sergeant Doll gave the Chicago Police Department 11 years.
Thank you for your service to the Chicago community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
