ST. LOUIS — An Illinois man suspected of shooting a police officer after a traffic stop was shot and killed in an incident that also left an FBI agent wounded, Illinois State Police said Sunday. The central Illinois police officer was shot in the arm after a traffic stop initiated by a different police officer. Pendleton was charged with attempted murder in the May 7 shooting of a Mahomet, Illinois, police officer. Authorities said at a news conference that Dracy “Clint” Pendleton of Bellflower, Illinois, was killed in an early morning shootout inside an abandoned house in southern Illinois near the Shawnee National Forest. The incident also sparked a fatal collision when a trooper pursuing Pendleton struck and killed a 26-year-old who was driving her van in Decatur, Illinois.
