Chicago police shoot driver in front of 3 children
CHICAGO (AP) — Three young children in the backseat of a car witnessed a Chicago police officer shoot the driver while he was trying to flee after a traffic stop.
A police union spokesman says officers were surprised to realize the children were in the vehicle after the wounded driver lost control and hopped a curb.
Police say they stopped the driver around 1 a.m. Saturday on the far South Side and ordered him out of the car. The driver then jumped back inside and tried to flee.
