A tranquilizer used to sedate horses, cattle, and other animals is making its way into the illicit drug market, secretly added to heroin and cocaine by dealers trying to stretch their profits, authorities say.

A man who threw up gang signs and pointed a gun at another man in a McDonald’s parking lot got shot in the head by the other man, who happened to be an off-duty Chicago police officer, officials said.

Prosecutors say a Chicago parolee committed four burglaries in two days while armed with a pistol that he pulled out on two of his victims.
