'The officers were stripped of their police powers pending the outcome of an investigation. They could face criminal charges if the shooting is deemed unjustified.

 

Minutes before the shooting, video shows a seemingly relaxed Roman walking from one subway car to another, with listing to earphones. One officer follows him into the other car and approaches him as he pulls off his earphones to listen. Seconds later, he steps off the train at the he Grand station stop.

 

Off the train, officers speak to Roman briefly before he seems to bolt for the escalator, with the officers on his heels. The bystander video released earlier shows officers tackling Roman, pepper spraying and Tasering him as he tries to wriggle from their grasp. In the bystander video, Roman can be heard saying, "I did nothing to you." A male officer on his back keeps yelling, "Stop resisting!"

 

Moments later, as Roman stands, he is shot in the stomach and he then scurries up the stairs. He is shot a second time in the lower back when he gets to the top.

 

Lawyers for Roman say he clearly wasn't armed when the female officer shot him the first time, nor when the injured Roman scrambled up the escalator with his back turned. The first bullet damaged his small intestine and bladder, and the second one entered his buttocks and lodged near a sciatic nerve, his lawyers say.

 

Two days after Roman was shot, the Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx's office dropped resisting arrest and criminal narcotics charges against Roman at the request of then-interim Police Superintendent Charlie Beck. Roman in March sued the city and the two officers for unspecified damages.'
