South Side's Own Off-Duty Cop Paralyzed In Beverly Shooting Needs Our Help
An off-duty Chicago police officer is now paralyzed from the abdomen down after trying to break up a Beverly bar fight that spilled into the street and ended in two men firing more than 20 shots into the crowd, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Danny Golden, a six-year member of the department, was out celebrating with friends and family at Sean's Rhino Bar near 104th and Western after playing in the neighborhood's charity Papa Hops 16» Softball Tournament Friday night.
Around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, he was shot in the back after a verbal altercation turned into a bar fight that ended with two people shot, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Demetrius Harrell, 28, of Chicago Ridge; Bryant Hayes, 22, of Chicago; and Justen Krismantis, 22, of Chebanse, all face felony charges of aggravated battery with a firearm, prosecutors said. Hayes and Krismantis also face attempted murder charges.
