After the second officer approached, the car moved in reverse and the now-sacked officer opened fire on the couple, who have a child together, according to authorities.The officer who shot the couple is Hispanic and has been with the police department for five years.

He fled. He did not comply with the officers orders. He attempted to run over a law enforcement officer. That’s when he was fired upon.

Hope theres a murder charge to follow !

American gun culture to blame Nothing else nothing will change till it does but American will is not their to change it

Well done police officers punish them for good and America great again MAGA

If every 1 didn’t have a gun on them police would be less likely to shoot but it is American way right to bear arms so any1 goes for glove box u get shot

Suppose he had a gun

Fled, attempted to murder the cop, got shot 🤷‍♀️

The officer - whose name has not been released - committed 'multiple policy and procedure violations', Waukegan police chief Wayne Walles said. Chief among them, murder.

This over-hasty sacking of the police officer is not justified. Wait until a full examination of all the facts is concluded and THEN decide what action to take.

😢😢

And ?

Wtf just fired him..

Anyone going to ask why they fled the scene not once but twice Doesn’t excuse the shooting.... but if they’ve got nothing to hide or done nothing wrong, why wouldn’t you just stop?

How can the man be sacked before an investigation has taken place? And yes, of course it's tragic and regrettable.

Lots of tension- take race out of it and help the cause Sky...

RHYSABIX Sacked? Is that it?!

Send the police to jail not only sacked him

Should face murder charges.

After trying to reverse into an officer missing that bit sky?

Jesus, ffs

police are terrorist

I guess Police are guilty until proven innocent. The article states no weapons were found in the vehicle but, fails to mention the vehicle itself is a weapon if the driver attempted to hit the Officer. I choose to wait for more details and the video before drawing any conclusions

should he no be jailed too 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wait, what? He shot a *dead* person? WTH?

Attorneys for Black man shot by officer says firing him his ‘first step in police accountability’Attorneys representing a Black woman who was shot and wounded inside a vehicle by a suburban Chicago police officer who also fatally shot her 19-year-old boyfriend say the officer’s firing “is a first step in police accountability.' Actually, it's not - arresting and charging the Killer Cop would be! Sorry but was he a criminal was he involved in a crime ... if yes as seems to be the case so often ... no sympathy here. Hard job for the officers ... but perhaps arm black officers to deal with hard black criminals? I think the death rate won’t change. Sacking officers - No way.
