Report: Paroled six-time felon charged in shootings

Prosecutors have charged a paroled six-time felon with shooting a woman inside a Chicago apartment and then trying to shoot police officers who chased him into an alley.

CWB Chicago reports that Pierre Davis, 28, was seriously wounded when officers returned fire last Friday evening. The encounter came after Davis was accused of shooting a woman in the arm, leaving her hospitalized in good condition.

Court records show Davis was released from prison in September after serving part of a three-year sentence for resisting police. His prior felony convictions include bribery, aggravated battery of a peace officer, and aggravated domestic battery.

Reckless homicide charge filed
