A horrifying video has emerged from Chicago, showing inmates at a Cook County jail facility cheering a man who, last week, shot and killed a Chicago police commander execution style, leaving the officer dead, riddled with at least six bullets.
Chicago Police Cmdr. Paul Bauer was shot dead in broad daylight in the middle of downtown Chicago last Wednesday, after he responded to a call for help from fellow officers, pursuing a man who had run from them during a drug bust. When Officer Bauer caught up to the suspect, the suspected allegedly pushed him down a short flight of stairs, and while Bauer lay sprawled on the landing, shot Bauer six times, in the head, neck, and chest.
The suspect, Shomari Legghette, is a repeat offender.
But as Legghette was being led away from his bond hearing on Thursday – his first court appearance in the matter – he was led past a number of Cook County inmates waiting to see the judge for their arraignments. The inmates, noticing that Legghette was the man who shot Bauer, cheered him on, clapping and hollering.
