A 95-year-old man wielding a 7-inch blade and a cane was shot by police at a south suburban nursing home overnight, according to authorities.
Park Forest police were called to Victory Centre of Park Forest after the man, identified as John Warna, threatened staff, authorities said.
Police fired a beanbag-like round from a shotgun at the man after a Tazer failed to subdue him, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
He was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn after being transferred there from St. James Hospital and Health Centers in Chicago Heights.
