CHICAGO -- A Chicago police officer shot in Englewood over the weekend was expected to leave the hospital Wednesday, but now must stay longer.
Initially, police officials said Officer Erik Moreno would be released Wednesday, but that changed Wednesday morning. Still in the hospital himself, prosecutors brought attempted murder and aggravated battery charges against Halsey, who has a history of gun crimes. Halsey's public defender argued he has a conceal carry permit and a valid firearms identification card, and said police had not activated their lights when pulling him over.
