How they died
Deadly force
An off-duty Chicago officer with a Cubs jersey over his uniform came upon a 1 a.m. gang-related melee: eight men beating each other with bats and tire irons. Upon stopping and identifying himself, a suspect, Degante, assaulted the officer with a metal wheel lock. Degante was fatally shot at close range.
