CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Police Board meets again Tuesday deciding whether Officer Robert Rialmo should be fired after shooting and killing two people three years ago.
It was the day after Christmas in 2015 when Rialmo and his partner responded to a domestic disturbance call on the West Side when Quintonio LeGrier came down the stairs with a baseball bat.
