CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Police have "quite a few questions" after officers fatally shot a man driving a stolen car, and investigators have retrieved body cameras and cameras on squad car dashboards to determine whether officers followed the department's deadly force policy when they opened fire on the fleeing vehicle.

"At this moment the department has, unfortunately, more questions than we do answers," department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Friday.

Chicago police say that officers stopped the stolen Jaguar convertible Thursday evening in the city's South Shore neighborhood and were exiting their own vehicle when the driver sped away, sideswiping a squad car and a parked vehicle in the process.

The department said that two officers fired their weapons and that the man who was shot died at a hospital. The release said some officers were injured, but that their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Two Chicago officers involved in a shooting that left a suspect dead were relieved of their police powers even as the case is still being investigated, police say.

The officers may have violated departmental polices in the shooting of 18-year-old Paul O'Neal of Chicago, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Friday in explaining why Superintendent Eddie Johnson relieved the officers of their police powers. He added that the department is still reviewing the actions of a third officer involved in the shooting.
