28 July 99
Late last week, while in foot pursuit of a knife-wielding suspect, a uniformed Chicago PD officer fired several shots from his pistol, ostensibly at the suspect. One of his rounds struck an uninvolved motorist in the head, seriously injuring him.
The suspect was never apprehended. The incident is currently “under investigation.”
Lesson: It’s a pistol, not a magic wand!
