FBI investigating death of teen shot 16 times by Chicago cop
....
The investigation comes amid public outcry nationwide in recent months over police use of lethal force and as a veteran Chicago police detective is on trial on involuntary manslaughter charges for a fatal off-duty shooting of a 22-year-old black woman in 2012.
Patton first disclosed the probe into McDonald's Oct. 20 death Monday morning while recommending to the City Council's Finance Committee a settlement of $5 million. The Finance Committee endorsed the settlement, and the City Council will take up the issue Wednesday.
In a briefing for reporters after the hearing, Patton said dashboard camera footage of the shooting was crucial to the city's decision to settle the case before a federal lawsuit was filed. He said lawyers for the family initially sought $16 million.
During the hearing, Patton said the officer who fired all 16 shots has claimed he was in fear for his life. A spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police said shortly after the shooting that the teen had lunged at the officer with the knife.
But Patton noted that lawyers for the teen would question why none of the other five officers on the scene opened fire.
Furthermore, lawyers for McDonald's family contend "very vehemently" that the videotape showed that McDonald was still walking away from police when the lone officer pulled the trigger, Patton said.
