Chicago cop charged after allegedly shooting at suspected carjackers: reports

An-off duty cop has been charged with a felony after she allegedly opened fire at a group of suspected carjackers accused of stealing her SUV Saturday evening in the Chicago area, according to reports.

Sampson Carney and her husband were loading groceries into her 2016 Toyota 4Runner at a Sam's Club store parking lot around 6:45 p.m. Saturday when three males approached, according to the Sun-Times. 

As two of the suspects asked the couple if they needed help, a third entered the vehicle – which was still running -- and drove off, prosecutors said. When the driver slowed to pick up another accomplice, Sampson Carney allegedly fired a 9mm handgun once, hitting the ground behind the vehicle, according to the paper.
