Chicago officer sued in 2013 fatal shooting was at a second one in 2014

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A Chicago Police officer sued in the 2013 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Christian Green was on the scene when his partner killed another man in 2014 — raising questions about their fitness as cops, according to a lawyer for Green’s family.

Officer Robert Gonzalez fired 11 times and shot Christian Green once in the back at 1 p.m. on July 4 in the 5600 block of South State. Green had pointed a gun at Gonzalez, who fired in self-defense, investigators said. But a lawsuit says the teenager was unarmed when he was shot.
