2 Chicago officers relieved of powers after suspect killed
None
Two Chicago officers involved in a shooting that left a suspect dead were relieved of their police powers even as the case is still being investigated, police say.
The shooting occurred during a stolen vehicle investigation. Chicago police said that officers stopped a stolen Jaguar convertible Thursday evening in the city's South Shore neighborhood and were exiting their own vehicle when the driver sped away, sideswiping a squad car and a parked vehicle in the process. The two officers fired their weapons, wounding O'Neal, who was pronounced dead at a hospital. The department said some officers were injured, but that their injuries were not considered life-threatening.
"At this moment the department has, unfortunately, more questions than we do answers," Guglielmi said. O'Neal was black; police have not provided information on the officers' races.
