I want to remember two fellow members of the Chicago Police Department that gave their lives on July 17, 1970. Sergeant James L. Severin #1319 and Patrolman Anthony N. Rizzato #12407, were killed by sniper fire by two gang members at the Cabrini-Green Housing Projects. They were particpating in a "Walk and Talk" program when they were ambushed as they crossed a baseball field. The purpose of their murder was to seal a pact between two rival gangs. The two shooters were sentenced from 100 to 199 years in prison. The killers have parole hearings every three years.
This is an article about an event honoring these two fallen members of the Chicago Police Department.
How sad. God bless the two fallen cop's families.
