| [Chicago Tribune] The suspect reported by authorities to be at large following a shooting Thursday in which an undercover ATF agent was shot was in custody Saturday afternoon. Bernard Graham, 25, of Calumet City, Ill., self-surrendered to authorities at 12:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon, according to a statement issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of Indiana. A second man, Blake King of Chicago, was apprehended previously. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent, who was not identified "due to the nature of his work," was shot in the chest and arm, Special Agent in Charge Celinez Nunez, of the ATF’s Chicago Field Division, said. "He is going to make a full recovery," Nunez said. Raymon Truitt II, 28, "was killed in the exchange of gunfire," U.S. Attorney Thomas Kirsch II said. The Lake County coroner’s office ruled Truitt’s death a homicide caused by gunshot wounds. His address was unknown with the coroner’s office, and Lake County court records list recent addresses in Hammond and Merrillville. Prosecutors filed charges Friday in Hammond’s federal court against King, 19, and Graham in connection with the shooting. The charges include assaulting an ATF agent and using a weapon in the commission of a crime, according to charging documents. |
