The incident began about 8:45 p.m., as an 18-year-old man and a child were getting out of their vehicle in the Hickory Palos Square Shopping Center parking lot, police said.

Ollry, armed with a gun, approached them, and demanded their belongings, police said.

The man gave Ollry his key fob, and called police.

Ollry could not start the vehicle, and ran as police arrived.

Officers tried to stop Ollry, who ran across 95th Street, into a Speedway parking lot near Roberts Road, police said.

Ollry fired several rounds at another officer, who tried to stop him, police said.

When it all was unfolding, the area was packed with people in the gas station parking lot, as well as on surrounding roads. One driver had a bullet go right through the windshield, but no one inside that vehicle was hurt.

An officer returned fire, but Ollry ran north into an alley.

Another officer confronted him, and Ollry shot himself, police said.

Ollry was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he later died.

One officer was treated and released from the hospital for minor injuries.

Ollry last lived in Chicago, and was a non-compliant child sex offender, police said.

Officials continue to investigate the incident.
