Flossmoor, Illinois — On Sunday, July 10, 2022, Flossmoor Police responded to the 1400 block of Joyce Drive for a reported domestic disturbance, resulting in an officer-involved shooting. At approximately 12:15p.m., on Sunday, July 10, Flossmoor Police officers responded to a third-party call reporting a domestic disturbance at 1437 Joyce Drive with reports of an individual, later identified as Madeline Miller, believed to be armed and dangerous. The report alleged Miller was threatening and attacking a female family member with a knife. When Flossmoor Police arrived on scene, officers heard arguing and commotion inside the residence.
After announcing their presence, an elderly woman using a walker opened the door for the officers, at which point the female family member began yelling loudly, “she’s trying to kill me.†As the elderly woman and the female family member cleared the doorway into another room, Miller emerged from around a corner – armed with a large kitchen knife – and quickly ran at the officers with the knife pointed in their direction. The officers retreated back into the driveway, commanding Miller to drop the knife, but she ignored the directions and continued to advance toward the officers at a quick pace. Still armed with the knife, Miller moved closer to the officers, at which point the first officer fired his weapon a single time, striking Miller in the arm.
Nevertheless, Miller continued to advance toward the first officer, with the knife still in her hand and raised, when the second officer fired two more shots, striking her in the torso. A total of three shots were fired. The officers rendered emergency medical aid and radioed for paramedics. Flossmoor Police later learned the residence also has an interior security camera that recorded the earlier domestic disturbance. Miller was taken to Advocate South Suburban Hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The female family member was also transported to an area hospital to be treated for injuries resulting from the domestic disturbance. The responding officers have been placed on administrative leave per departmental policy.

good riddance
Cameras are so racist! They always seem to show the same people…..
The body cameras are showing just how screwed a cop can be in a matter of seconds. That lady was out the door and almost on the officer when he shot and she just kept coming until they had to shoot again. And argument for an officer legally emptying a magazine on a suspect when verbal commands don't work or come too late. I can see why the second officer didn't immediately fire.
Nice
Once again , Gun beats Knife !
Good ðŸ‘
Never stand in front of the door when announcing.
Who was yelling Help me help me
That last shot, the headshot, dropped her in mid sentence & attack….
Not even natural selection is perfect.
Wish there was more context as to why the woman was threatening/assaulting her family with the knife. Crazy.
mental illness here
I will never understand, why people do this. Knife vs Gun, its a clear who will lose
Dropped like a tazer got her….. 👠Sack of potatoes…….
Cocaine is a hell of a drug! Or whatever the hell else she was on? Domestic situations like this are very sad for all involved including the responding officer's.
the United States is such a wonderful experiment!
Roused the cockroach with hard knocking at 40 seconds. Yuck.
why do they blur it??? they don’t blur it in other cases ???
Maybe drop the knife. Just a thought. Anywho, thanks for taking out the trash.
One less burden in this world.
Last one hit the off switch
I'm sure once the shock wears off this family will be relived that this person is out of their lives.
Stiffened up like a 2X4
Great kill
If only she could have used that knife for good…like making a sandwich.
People have cameras on their doorbells to know exactly where to shoot someone. Officer was dead in the center. Luckily this women only had a knife. Just saying…
Something to show during Black History Month next February.
Family's fault…
They may have saved many more lives that day…
Where was his taser?
Nice pratfall… Elegant and precise. But make sure she isn't playing possum.
She literally took a knife to a gunfight….. it did not end well 😎
Looks like she got domed with that last one.
Lol
Idiocracy becoming reality more and more daily.
What a beautiful neighbourhood
bro i dont give a damn what the call is.. you have the 4th admen rights and that officer trying to open the door is in the wrong.. between that and the bashing of the door is excessive. if i had more info from this video. my opinion would change but from what im seeing here. i wouldnt know that was the cops id think someone tryn to break in.. her getting shot is on her though you dont chase cops with knifes. but cops SHOULD NOT BE TRYN TO OPEN YOUR DAMN DOORS….
