Rahm cuts Cuban vacation short after another police shooting

Rahm was here!
Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel thought he could escape his trouble by vacationing with his family in communist Cuba.

Wrong.

Rahm is coming home early after the latest controversial police shooting. And this one is a bad one.

From ABC 7 Chicago:
On Saturday officers responded to a 911 call from a home in the city's West Garfield Park neighborhood. Police said Quintonio Legrier, 19, was threatening his father with an aluminum bat.

Their downstairs neighbor, 55-year-old Bettie Jones, answered the door to let police in just as Legrier came running down the stairs.

Police opened fire and hit Jones by accident. Legrier was also shot and killed.

Four sisters are now grieving the loss of their mother, and still struggling to understand why she had to die at the hands of a police officer.
