At about 4 a.m., police responded to a call about several shots fired inside and outside Manny's Blue Room in the 2900 block of South Claire Boulevard.
Midlothian police said one of their officers -- who was called to assist Robbins police -- fatally shot bouncer Jemel Roberson after entering the bar and seeing him holding a gun.
Circumstances surrounding the shooting of the bouncer or the initial gunfire were immediately unclear. At least four people were shot including Roberson.
A 26-year-old bouncer at a Robbins night club was fatally shot by a Midlothian police officer early Sunday, authorities said.
I would imagine that before the cops entered Mannys Blues Bar, they told everybody to drop their guns.
How would the cops have known he was a security guard?
Looking the place up on google, it had some interesting reviews.....

Armed security guards returned fire, the report said. One the guards -- Jemel Roberson, 26 -- apprehended the suspect outside, witnesses said. Roberson then requested help from Midlothian Police, the Cook County Sheriff's Office said.
A witness told the station that Roberson was holding the suspect on the ground when one of two responding officers fatally shot him.
"The security guard that got killed, he caught somebody and had his knee on him the whole time," said one witness cited by Fox 32. "Just waiting on the police to get there. I guess when the police got there, they probably thought he was one of the bad guys, cause he had his gun on the guy and they shot him."
Pretty sad set of circumstances. Jemel sounds like a great guy that had his life cut short way too early. RIP.
There were 20 other people shot in Chicago this weekend as well.
