A video was released on Wednesday showing the moments leading up to a shooting that involved Chicago police officers in March. The video shows officers approaching 19-year-old Leevon Smith, who was suspected of having a gun. As the officers get closer, Smith runs away and the officers chase him on foot. The video then shows Smith turning and firing a gun at the officers, who return fire, striking him multiple times. Smith was taken to the hospital and survived his injuries. The officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative duty, which is standard procedure, pending an investigation.
