Family Files Suit Over Red Line Shooting
The family of man shot on the Red Line has filed a civil suit for wrongful death against the Chicago police. George Lash, 19, was shot when he pointed his gun at officers. His family claims he was handcuffed when he was shot. (Hmm. . . . really??) Police had been called to the scene by the train operator who reported Lash was brandishing a gun. Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis stated: "Unfortunately, the events led to a life being lost, but when you're trying to murder police officers, that's what's going to happen and I'm really glad our officers are safe."
