Willowbrook

Sterigenics, a medical tool sterilization company, has agreed to pay $408 million to end more than 870 lawsuits. 

A Bald Eagle was rescued Sunday from a piece of floating ice in Waukegan Harbor, and the incident was captured on video.

A body was pulled from a retention pond Thursday morning in west suburban Willowbrook.

Sterigenics has been cleared by a jury in its second trial, according to a report.

Seven Chicago-area residents have been indicted for allegedly obtaining at least $16 million in fraudulent COVID-19 relief loans for various businesses they claimed to own and operate in Illinois and Florida, federal prosecutors said.

There were new developments Thursday for the hundreds of people who are suing Sterigenics.

A Cook County jury on Monday ruled that Sterigenics and two other companies should pay $363 million in damages for exposing a woman and thousands of other Willowbrook residents to dangerous levels of cancer-causing ethylene oxide gas.

The plaintiff in next week's trial is 37-year-old Sue Kamuda, who used to live near the Sterigenics plant in Willowbrook. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and says her family has no history of breast cancer.

The officer ordered Lemarcus Washington out of the vehicle, and allegedly located a loaded Taurus G2C 9mm handgun with one round in the chamber and about 115 grams of cannabis.

A gunman who fatally shot a man and wounded a woman at an office building in southwest suburban Chicago before killing himself was about to lose his job.

The victim told suburban Chicago police she had just finished loading groceries into her car and was about to enter the vehicle when the 15-year-old offender approached her with a gun and said, “Give me the (expletive) keys” and “look at the gun.”

Reaction to a temporary restraining order barring Illinois public schools from enforcing mask mandates is drawing praise and criticism.
