A Riverdale man was fatally shot by police who were responding to the man's home
for a neighbor dispute in the south suburb on Saturday, police
said.
Police were called to the 14300 block of Michigan
Avenue in Riverdale on Saturday for a dispute someone was having with a
neighbor, police said. When police responded, an officer encountered an armed
