An off-duty Chicago police officer shot a man who allegedly tried to steal her gun on January 18. Security footage shows the female officer leaving an apartment and attempting to break up an argument between 39-year-old Leevon Smith and a group of others. The group fled while Smith stayed behind with the officer and allegedly tried to steal her gun when a struggle ensued and Smith was shot. Smith’s family filed a $10 million lawsuit against the officer, who was unnamed in the suit, and the City of Chicago after he died two days following the incident. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie has the details.

Justifiable! Dude tried to be slick to attack her and take her weapon. She pushed him off of her and warned him.
Typical nig. Glad another one is dead
Her language wasn’t the best but the shooting was totally justified 👍🏾
Nice lowering of the hips and tucking the pistol before delivering the upward shot. Close quarter combat shooting y’all.
He said he is enough and said sorry, so he stopped already, but she keeps firing the gun. This is not self defense anymore, it changed from self defense to murder!
3:20 best looking reporter on the news.
"You shot me for real" this guy learned through hard work and literally his guts what 'f**k around and find out' means
He won’t be missed. Glad he gone
She said "ill kill you" TWICE while walking off, then when he says "youll what?" She shoots him. SHE WANTED TO KILL THIS MAN. or else she would have left when the other dudes left.
She knew exactly what she was doing. She was undercover and was looking for any excuse to kill this man. She should NOT have a badge.
Excuse me, but why is she living in such a sketchy neighborhood??
She was Honest throughout the whole Video 💯
should make a law if a perps family sues they will got shot if they lose the case..lawsuits drop to zero
It's too bad that normal residents of Chicago aren't afforded the same rights of self defense
She warned him, another one 💀 for not listening but chose a life of crime.
Of course she told him afterwards. Because she kept having to repeat herself to begin with, and keep fighting for the gun.
Well he DID try to rob her.
The more you F around the more you find out
The media already trying to frame her. Smh.
Tf you filing a lawsuit for? FAFO
Reminds me of my ex
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha wonderful
If he would've got that gun from her she would be the one dead.
Poor boy he dont want to die 😥 i guess he needs this gun to defend his rights
So you’re gonna try sue someone because they killed one of your family because he was tryna get her gun?? This world is doomed, try to profit from a man’s death 😊
If this is up and up!!!! Leave her alone.
She tried to help!!!! Look what happened.
Prior to the shooting, this man was saying with children.
