One day after a carjacking suspect opened fire on officers, the Chicago Police Department swiftly released dramatic dashcam videos from the incident. Police say the videos show Charles Lawson, 24, firing a gun out of the stolen vehicle’s window. A bullet hit the pursuing squad car, grazing the officer behind the wheel in the face. Lawson continued to shoot at another responding squad car and officers in that vehicle returned fire, police said. Lawson was not hurt. He crashed into a parked car near 100th and Eggleston. He appears to toss a gun out of the window, before he’s taken into custody. It happened around 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say the pursuit started after Lawson carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint. He is now facing a long list of charges including four counts of attempted murder, aggravated battery, possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated hijacking, and aggravated fleeing and eluding. Lawson was already on parole for armed robbery. “During questioning, he admitted to stealing the car to use it in a retaliatory shooting, later that evening,†said Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
Johnson said the injured officer is expected to recover and just weeks ago that same officer was featured in a good deed picture that went viral. Chicago officers good deed goes viral: How they helped this disoriented woman Chicago police released the videos as part of the criminal investigation. The Independent Police Review Authority is also conducting a separate use-of-force investigation into the officers’ actions. “This just goes to show how dangerous policing is,†said Johnson.

Whoa! He surrendered and lived, but BLM says that doesn’t ever happen.
Too bad he missed
There is a difference between anger and primal fury. Most soft handed skinny jeans wearing losers of today will never know the feeling of letting a roar out and wanting to see blood. I pity your generation as if you don't know this end of the spectrum, the other end of love, appreciation and generosity is limited.
Is it me or do people like him think the real World is another level of GTA?
P.O.S. looking for a dirt-nap. He will get all layered up and repeat ASAP.
You can’t shoot at our police , they will win .
one time, num sayin
once in prison he'll continue being a burden to society. that's why I like happy endings better.
Defund the Police / This aged well
That alarm at the end I had to replay it a few times to be sure it wasn't my car alarm lol.
Black car jackers matter
Impressive takedown by all officers!
Slowest chase ever and buddy threw the gun out and said I give up that was fun 😂
Mans really trying to play Gta in real life lmao
@ Bible Flock Box, when was there a legal time to kill him? The only time the cops had a good shot at him was when he gave up, at that point it would be illegal to shooting him you stupid ass..
The ricochet at 4:14
That’s how you handle that! He threw that gun out the car. What a dumbass. I’m always amazed at the restraint of the officers.
In cases like this with absolute evidence. I have no problem with a curbside execution. Of course he would be a victim
Well he got his ass whipped off camera.
Cop pulled off and let somebody else take lead 😥 I would he ramming that shit
Uhh, i sowee ocifer. ga ga. Get dat bum a pacifier.
Those scumbags who exceed the speed limit to excess should have the key thrown away, it’s the same as shooting a shotgun down a street and hoping it doesn’t hit anyone.
Tragic that they weren't able to kill the perp
he guud boi, another Swede! as usual…
