U.S. attorney general to make Chicago law enforcement announcement
- 8 years ago
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch planned a news conference on Monday to announce a "law enforcement action" relating to Chicago, the Justice Department said.
The 10 a.m. EST announcement follows reports on Sunday that the department would open an investigation into the Chicago Police Department after protests over how it handled the case of a black teenager shot by a white police officer.
The civil probe follows murder charges filed against the police officer in the October 2014 killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times.
