Pair of recent Chicago police killings puts spotlight on policies related to officer foot pursuits

In late March, 13-year-old Adam Toledo was fatally shot by Chicago police officers at the end of a foot chase. Police said body camera footage shows Toledo holding a gun in his right hand, but it vanishes from sight as he turns toward the officer and begins to raise his hands as he’s shot. A gun was later found behind a fence a few feet from where Toledo was killed.In late March, 13-year-old Adam Toledo was fatally shot by Chicago police officers at the end of a foot chase.
