I've read quite a few articles on this today, many opinion pieces. This is a good article with opinion and many facts, and where the case seems to be currently. I quoted only a small portion of the article. Reserving my opinion until some of the tests are released.
Secrecy and feuds mar Fox Lake police death case
Chicago Tribune
By John Kass | September 16, 2015en Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz's body was found more than two weeks ago now, in the marsh grass in a semirural area, it instantly became national news.
His was the latest in a string of police killings across the country, so some 400 cops fanned out in Fox Lake, with six helicopters overhead, police dogs hunting for the suspected killer or killers.
As that happened, a retired Chicago police lieutenant with two sons now on the job talked to me about the feelings among police, about the shootings and anti-police protests and the sense that they were all under siege.
But a couple of days later, he called me again, saying simply, "I've got a feeling there's something wrong with this one."
[...]
The tragedy is that it's been more than two weeks since Gliniewicz's body was found and there is still no definitive word whether it was murder or a suicide.
The Tribune reported this week that the death investigation was being conducted as a homicide — but also as a possible suicide. Yet even the slightest mention of suicide infuriates local cops and his grieving family.
Complicating matters is that, oddly, ballistics results on Gliniewicz's gun have not yet been returned, nor has a gunshot residue test, said a spokesman for the task force. Two weeks at the lab in the death of a police officer?
The task force spokesman also would not answer questions about how close the gun was to Gliniewicz's chest when it was fired, or even if the fatal shot came from the lieutenant's own gun.
