$11,000 REWARD OFFERED IN BERWYN SHOOTING OF AT&T WORKER BY A FERAL NEGRO

WLS ABC7 News PURPOSELY omitted the race of the wanted offender in their description.

BERWYN, Ill. (WLS) -- Authorities appealed to the public for help to capture the person who shot an AT&T worker in the back during an attempted robbery in west suburban Berwyn.

They hope reward money will be key to cracking the case. Last week, a $1,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. That reward grew to $11,000 Wednesday and could go up even more.

Andrew Holmes, a victim advocate in Chicago, contributed the initial $1,000. AT&T Vice President Jim Maurer announced Wednesday that the company contributed an additional $10,000.

"When I say we're a family, we're a family. It's the right thing to do," Maurer said.

Berwyn Police Chief Michael Cimaglia said residents expressed interest in starting a fund to raise more reward money, so the $11,000 total could still grow.
