A Chicago prosecutor is now on leave after allegedly spreading misinformation when he suggested, in court, that 13-year-old Adam Toledo, was armed when he was shot by police in the city’s Little Village neighborhood, even though the video, released by Chicago Police, seems to show Toledo holding a gun just seconds before the police officer discharges his weapon.
The Toledo video, released late last week, shows Chicago Police responding to an early morning call of gunshots. After spotting Toledo, the police give chase, eventually running into Toledo in an alley. One cop can be heard warning the 13-year-old to “turn around and drop the gun.”
