A Chicago police officer was charged with punching a man with a gunshot wound who allegedly fired shots at cops in a University Village shooting.
CHICAGO -- A Chicago police officer is accused of repeatedly punching a man while he was restrained in police custody before he was taken to a hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound he suffered in an exchange of gunfire with other officers in University Village.
During the purported search, Hillas punched Jefferson four times in the groin with a closed fist before another officer pulled him away, prosecutors said. Hillas allegedly tried to walk back toward Jefferson but was prevented from doing so by other officers. Prosecutors did not say at the hearing if Hillas or other officers on the scene knew Jefferson also had been shot when he was taken into custody.
When two Chicago police officers approached Jefferson, he ran and fired a shot at the officers, prosecutors said. Jefferson then hid behind a parked vehicle and allegedly fired at the officers a second time.Jefferson then ran to the nearby 12th District police station parking lot and placed his hands on a car, waiting for officers to arrest him, prosecutors said.
While Hillas was patting down Jefferson's clothing, Hillas got down on his knees and felt a bulge in Jefferson's pocket, Grace said. Hillias didn't know he struck another officer and thought Jefferson was attacking him, leading Hillas to believe he had to defend himself, Grace said.
