Three years into his job as a Riverside cop, Tom Weitzel survived a shotgun blast to the chest.
He was checking on an illegally parked car in the summer of 1987 when a masked man stepped out and blasted him, striking him in his bulletproof vest, which saved his life.
Weitzel remembers sitting in a hospital bed the next day with broken ribs and shotgun pellets in his eyes.
“My wife wanted me to quit,” he says. “But this was my profession. I had to do something to support us.”
Weitzel, 60, retired from the west suburban police department on Thursday after being chief since 2008 a post in which his public profile has been outsized for a chief of a small-town department.

RIVERSIDE, IL A Riverside man strangled a woman and slammed a car door on her last week with small children present, police said. He is also accused of trying to choke the same woman a month ago in a nearby town, but that case was apparently dropped.
About 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Riverside police received a number of 911 calls about a disturbance outside an apartment building in the 2800 block of South Harlem Avenue, according to a police news release. The woman who kept calling 911 was cut off, but dispatchers heard yelling in the background, police said.
