- 1:37Speaker 1: as Tracy Jayland, fifty two, of Bridgeview. Land was making
- 1:42Speaker 1: a delivery to the restaurant at twenty seven forty US
- 1:44Speaker 1: Route thirty four when about three ten am, Lee allegedly
- 1:48Speaker 1: broke into the restaurant and attacked him with a hammer
- 1:51Speaker 1: and a knife. Oswego Police said about five am, Oswego
- 1:56Speaker 1: police were called to the restaurant for a report of
- 1:58Speaker 1: a stabbing. Upon a ride, officers found the alleged defender,
- 2:02Speaker 1: later identified by police as Lee, being restrained by two
- 2:05Speaker 1: contracted maintenance workers. Officers immediately took Lee into custody and
- 2:10Speaker 1: began providing medical aid to one of the workers who
- 2:13Speaker 1: had been injured. Police said the injured twenty year old
- 2:17Speaker 1: man was taken to an area hospital. Based on statements

- 2:24Speaker 1: the restaurant and discovered Land's body inside. He was pronounced
- 2:28Speaker 1: dead at the scene. Weis said he believes that Lee
- 2:31Speaker 1: understands the charges against him, but that he is not
- 2:34Speaker 1: able to assist in his own defense. That's usually where
- 2:38Speaker 1: the issue comes up when you have a mental illness
- 2:40Speaker 1: without treatment or medications, he said. So they'll give him
- 2:43Speaker 1: some treatment as well as medications, which will allow him
- 2:47Speaker 1: then to assist his attorneys in his own defense. Police
- 2:51Speaker 1: said that after allegedly killing Land, Lee remained in the
- 2:54Speaker 1: restaurant and tried to clean up the crime scene. The
- 2:57Speaker 1: maintenance workers were outside the restaurant, unaware that Lee was
- 3:01Speaker 1: inside and had allegedly killed Land. Police said Lee exited
- 3:06Speaker 1: the restaurants about four fifty five am and allegedly attacked
- 3:10Speaker 1: the twenty year old man from behind by stabbing him
- 3:12Speaker 1: with a knife. Police said despite his injuries, the man
- 3:16Speaker 1: was able to subdue his attacker with the assistance of
- 3:18Speaker 1: his mother, who also was on site working with him.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Police said Oswego Village officials in November honored the mother
- 3:26Speaker 1: and son for their efforts at the scene. At the
