Chicago cop given 5 years in prison for shooting at car, wounding two teens
CHICAGO - A veteran Chicago police officer was sentenced to five years in prison Monday for firing 16 times into a moving vehicle filled with teens, wounding two.
Marco Proano, 42, who was the first Chicago cop in memory to be convicted in federal court of criminal charges stemming from an on-duty shooting, said he continues to feel strongly he did nothing wrong.
Before the sentence was handed down, Proano told the judge in a brief statement that he was just trying "to protect human life" when he fired on the car.
