Civilian Office of Police Accountability
A Chicago police officer and police academy instructor is facing felony charges for an off-duty shooting that wounded a man in Albany Park.
Kevin Bunge feared he was about to be the victim of a carjacking when he fired several rounds at a parked vehicle on Dec. 11 in the 3300 block of West Irving Park Road, his lawyer Tim Grace said Wednesday.
“He acted like a police officer,” the defense attorney repeatedly said in court.
Bunge told COPA investigators and Cook County prosecutors that he heard several gunshots before approaching the two men inside the vehicle. He claimed that one of the men pointed a gun at him.
