Great response by the officer engaging multiple threats but also a great reminder to carry every day as you never know when you’ll be forced to defend yourself or others from a deadly threat.
Police say one of the suspects was armed when they attempted to rob Marie’s Pizza in Rockford on Saturday. An off-duty officer, Winnebago County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Pobjecky, was in the restaurant. He didn’t have a weapon himself, but he managed to grab a gun from the waistband of an employee and open fire. Pobjecky hit all four suspects, killing the youngest one, 16-year-old Michael Sago.
