The rescue ended a nearly 21-hour standoff that began midday Tuesday when police were called to a report of a break-in at a house at 147th Street and Robey Avenue. There was an exchange of gunfire with two suspected robbers, and two officers were wounded, one grazed in the arm, the other hit in the elbow.
The two suspects then took two women and six young children hostage, releasing four boys during the day and keeping the others until a SWAT team stormed the home around 9 a.m.
The officers took down the front door and found the hostages and the two men on the second floor, according to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart. The suspects fired twice at the officers but then were arrested and the hostages taken to safety.
