HARVEY, IL (CBS) — Illinois State Police have released dashcam video that shows what led a traffic stop to turn deadly in Harvey last week.
On Wednesday, troopers pulled over a woman near 147th and Halsted streets for failing to turn her lights on. One trooper asks her to get out of the car. His partner instructs a male passenger to do the same, and that man jumps into the driver’s seat — while troopers spot a gun. There appears to be a struggle, and then the gun goes off. A woman and child jump out of the back seat as the car slams into a bus shelter.
