Judge rips Chicago cop accused of shooting at another officer
Posted November 10, 2015 10:00 pm
Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. angrily berated a Chicago police officer charged with firing five shots at an off-duty suburban cop who tried to pull him over for driving drunk.
In court Tuesday, Bourgeois told officer John J. Gorman's attorney: "The problem I have with this is that we have a climate in this city where citizens are shooting at each other. We have to expect and demand more from those who wear a badge."
The off-duty police officer wasn't hit, and Gorman, 53, was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm. He could face as long as 15 years in prison if convicted.
