Oak Lawn police Sgt. Finbarr Haran, left, receives the Award of Valor, the department’s highest honor, from Oak Lawn police Chief Daniel Vittorio May 28, 2024. Oak Lawn officials Tuesday recognized the heroism of a police officer shot at a trucking company in March, but who still managed to subdue the offender, while at the meeting showing a new police recruitment video designed to attract more applicants to a dangerous job.
Haran was off-duty March 11 and working his first day as a security guard at MN89. When the argument escalated in the parking lot, he and another security guard prepared to intervene. Police searched Lee and reported he had two more magazines, each loaded with 13 rounds of ammunition, authorities said.
He bought the gun he used in the shootout legally in Florida, police said. It will be analyzed at the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms for ballistics and to determine if it was used in any other crimes, police said. The village obtained a recruitment and retention grant of almost $80,000 from the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, Vittorio said.
