(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – A lawsuit has been filed against the city of Chicago and six police officers involved in a shooting that left a man paralyzed.
Police said last year that 37-year-old Raymond Comer was shot as he was pulled over for an investigatory stop on the West Side. They said someone inside the vehicle was armed with a handgun and an officer fired, striking the individual.
Comer's attorneys say it was excessive force. An officer "fired at least eleven bullets at Mr. Comer as he sat in the vehicle, hitting him multiple times and permanently paralyzing him from the waist down," the firm Romanucci and Blandin said in a news release.
Comer was charged with four felonies after the incident.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability case files have been sealed by a court order.
