CPD sergeant agrees to 60-day suspension after his gun was used in woman’s shooting death

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A Chicago Police sergeant has agreed to a 60-day suspension after his gun was used in the shooting death of a Northwest Side woman, but the Chicago Police Board could impose a greater penalty after it meets later this month.

A City Hall attorney at a hearing on Friday listed one “red flag” after another in the conduct of Sgt. Steven Lesner, who met an intoxicated woman while on duty, bought her wine, then took her home, where she later died after being shot by Lesner’s weapon.
Just a reminder, many "progressives" feel that only police officers are capable of safe gun ownership.
