CHICAGO — <\/span>A robbery suspect now faces murder and attempted murder charges along with a long list of other felony counts in the shooting death<\/a> of a Chicago police officer and the wounding of another at a hospital where they took him for treatment.<\/p>\n

Alphanso Talley, 26, was scheduled to make his first appearance Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, the state\u2019s attorney\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Officer John Bartholomew, 38, a 10-year veteran of the force, was pronounced dead just before 1 p.m. Saturday after being shot<\/a> at Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

A second officer was critically wounded in the Saturday morning shooting, police said. His name was not immediately released. Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling said in a statement Monday that the wounded officer \u2014 57 years old with 21 years of service \u2014 was \u201cstill fighting for his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThough this does not bring solace to this tragedy, it does bring the first step in accountability,\u201d Snelling said of the charges.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Monday\u2019s hearing, a spokesman for the public defender\u2019s office said it couldn\u2019t comment on his behalf because no attorney had yet been appointed.<\/p>\n

The officers had taken Talley, who had been arrested for suspicion in an armed robbery that morning, to the hospital for observation. He fled after the shooting \u2014 a surveillance photo obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times appeared to show him running naked, with electrodes on his chest \u2014 and was arrested less than two hours later. <\/p>\n

Police have not said how the suspect was able to get a gun. Snelling said investigators ultimately recovered three weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shooting was a stark and heartbreaking reminder of the dangers our officers face all too often on this job,\u201d Snelling said.<\/p>\n

The hospital said in a Facebook posting that an individual in custody of law enforcement had been brought to the emergency department for treatment and was \u201cwanded upon arrival\u201d in a search for any weapons, following protocol. He was escorted by law enforcement at all times, the hospital said.<\/p>\n

According to Illinois Department of Corrections records, Talley\u2019s criminal record includes convictions for aggravated battery of a peace officer and for aiding, abetting, possessing or selling a stolen motor vehicle in 2023, as well as previous robbery and firearms convictions. A Cook County public defender represented Talley in that case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
