Pullman

A Chicago man with a lengthy criminal history is facing felony charges after a 2-year-old boy allegedly found his loaded handgun and fatally shot himself inside a Pullman home. Prosecutors said Jamonte Shaw found a loaded 9mm handgun belonging to 31-year-old Johnny Hughes inside the home they shared with Jamonte’s mother and siblings in the 900 block of East 104th Street.

A man is in custody after allegedly shooting a Chicago police sergeant Saturday night on the city’s Far South Side, and investigators believe he also shot a 63-year-old woman nearby, according to preliminary information.

Newly released video shows intense moments as Chicago police officers confronted an armed man who had been restraining and physically attacking his girlfriend in Pullman. The nerve-wracking footage shows split-second decision-making by an officer who fatally shot the gunman, 43-year-old Devon Smith, an instant after the woman bolted out the bedroom door.
