A gun-toting man running from police died after he suffered multiple cuts running through a glass door, authorities said this morning.

Officers saw the man firing a gun in the air just before 8:30 p.m. in a vacant lot in the the 6200 block of South Vernon Avenue in the West Woodlawn neighborhood, police said. The Cook County medical examiner's office identified him this morning as Jonrynn Avery, 24, of the same block.

Never bring a gun to a glass door fight.

Damn, that’s tragic...

That glass door must’ve been expensive.

From another news source:
"Avery was being chased by police officers when he ran through the glass door at his home address, according to a source."
So, the dumbass tried running through his own glass door?

“Just one of Eric Holder’s people being one of Eric Holder’s people.”

A committed Holderite.

My prediction: The perp’s family will sue the owner of the glass door, the person who installed the glass door and the manufacturer of the glass door, for failing to install and maintain a conspicuous warning label listing the dangers associated with running through glass doors.

The family will ultimately settle out-of-court for a high-six/low-seven figure.

John Edwards is probably already on a plane to Chicago as I am typing this...

I guess someone neglected to tell him that it doesn't work like in the movies. Y'see, in the movies they use special-effect glass that doesn't cut you up into a million pieces.

Anyone want to place bets on whether the family will find a slip-n-fall lawyer to sue the door manufacturer?
