Howard Morgan, ex-Chicago cop, was pulled over a block from his house by a pair of police officers shortly on February 21, 2005 for driving the wrong way on a one-way street with his headlights off.
Morgan identified himself as a police officer to the police officers but they did not believe him. He was dragged out of his van and forced to the ground. As he tried to produce his identification, one of the officers noticed his service revolver, and yelled 'GUN!' The officers fired multiple shots at him, having him to fire back.
He was hit 21 times in the back, and 7 in the front. He was hospitalized and underwent extensive surgery. Morgan was charged with 4 counts of attempted murder, 4 counts of aggravated battery of a police of officer, and 2 counts of discharging a firearm.
