A Chicago policeman who shot dead a teenager and accidentally killed a neighbour is seeking $10m (£7m) damages from the boy’s family.

Robert Rialmo claimed the shooting in Chicago on December 26 left him traumatised.
The officer has now filed a lawsuit against the relatives of 19-year-old black student Quintonio LeGrier.
In the days after the death, the victim’s father Antonio LeGrier filed a wrongful death lawsuit, saying his son was not armed with a weapon and was not a threat.
His lawyer Basileios Foutris has criticised the officer’s “temerity” in suing the grieving family.
