A suspect was fatally shot by police in northwest suburban Port Barrington early Tuesday morning after allegedly firing at officers as they responded to a domestic violence call. According to the McHenry County Sheriff’s office, deputies were called just before 1:30 a.m. to a home in the 200 block of Manchester Lane for a domestic violence situation. “Upon their arrival, the suspect opened fire on the deputies and an adult female on scene,” police said in a statement. “Deputies returned fire, striking the suspect.” The person shot was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
