[cdillon]



On 20 Jul 2017 (Thursday) at 1200 Hours there will be a ceremony honoring Harry Belluomini who was a retired Chicago Police Officer working for the U S Marshals Judicial Security Division at the Dirksen Federal Building and Deputy U S Marshall Roy 'Bill" Frakes. Both of these Heroes were shot to death by an in custody bank robbery offender who was attempting to escape via the garage ramp entry at the Dirksen Federal Court House 25 years ago. The offender disarmed a guard and shot and fatally wounded both of these officers. Harry was able to shoot and kill this offender before he succumbed to his fatal wounds. The families, FOP Reps, Bag Piper, a Chaplain, Marshals and friends are scheduled to participate in this ceremony. This will take place in the lobby where the previously placed plaque honoring these men is posted.
