An off-duty Evanston police officer is being called a hero after he jumped into the Des Plaines River Tuesday afternoon to rescue a 7-year-old boy.
The officer was driving near the dam at Joseph Schwab Road at about 3:40 p.m. when he watched the little boy approach the river and throw in a snowball, said Des Plaines Fire Chief Alan Wax.
