In this week's Legal Issues in the News the University of Illinois College of Law's Jennifer Pahre interprets the Supreme Court Case, Kisela v. Hughes.

A Champaign police officer remains on paid investigative leave, following his involvement in a shooting incident now under investigation. According to the officer, his gun went off accidentally when his foot slipped while chasing a suspect running from a traffic stop.  

A suspect is being sought in the killing of two police officers in the Des Moines, Iowa, area. The two officers were shot and killed early Wednesday as they sat in their squad cars.

"The shootings appear to have been ambush-style attacks," police spokesman Paul Parizek said in a statement.

Rantoul and Champaign Police officials say armed robbery suspect Darius Graves was shot by a Champaign SWAT teamleader, because he appeared to be holding a gun as he ran from his motel room after a standoff. The gun turned out to be a steel pipe wrapped in cloth, but the Champaign County State's Attorney says the shooting was "legally appropriate".

31 year old Darius Graves of Tennessee was fatally shot Tuesday by a Champaign Police SWAT team leader, as he exited a Rantoul motel room with what authorities say appeared to be a gun.
