The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) in Chicago is investigating a recent incident where an off-duty CPD officer was involved in a shooting on the city's North Side. In a separate, but related incident, COPA confirmed that a Chicago police officer, responding to a ShotSpotter alert on the South Side, fired shots at a boy who was playing with fireworks in his driveway. Fortunately, the child was not hit. This incident has sparked controversy, especially after COPA revealed that no one had shot at CPD officers before the officer fired shots toward the boy. The incident was captured on newly released video footage.
