Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer shot 6 times, prosecutors allege as suspect held without bail

CHICAGO - Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer was shot six times in the head, neck, torso, back and wrist, Cook County prosecutors alleged Thursday as Shomari Legghette, his hands and feet shackled, made his first appearance on murder and other charges in a courtroom packed with dozens of officers.

Prosecutors revealed that three civilian witnesses identified Legghette in a police lineup as the man who struggled with Bauer at the top of a stairwell outside the Thompson Center in the Loop. Surveillance video also captured the struggle at the top of the stairs, they said.

Legghette's right hand and coat tested positive for the presence of gunshot residue, evidence he fired a gun, prosecutors said.
