Parolee ordered held without bond for shooting at police

CHICAGO (AP) – A Chicago man is being held without bond on attempted murder charges for allegedly firing on a car full of police officers before being apprehended after a three-hour standoff. During a Wednesday court hearing, it was revealed 22-year-old Steven McGee did not wound an officer in the knee as previously asserted by Chicago police. Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin Deboni told the court as four officers left the vehicle Monday, one of them heard a gunshot and immediately felt something on his right leg. But the officer suffered a “contusion,” not a gunshot wound. McGee, on parole for a 2016 armed robbery conviction, was being sought by police in connection with a June 10 aggravated assault with a handgun.
