ILLINOIS—John Warna, 95, a resident at Victory Centre of Park Forest, Chicago died after being TASER’d and shot with bean bag rounds.
Police say, on Saturday (July 27) Warna was threatening paramedics and nursing home staff with a cane and a metal shoehorn, when at some point “someone” decided to call and have police involved. When the police arrived, the officers say they struck him with a TASER and bean bag rounds because he threatened the officers with a 12-inch butcher knife.
After being assaulted by officers (more than one), Warna was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, IL, a suburb of Chicago, where he died hours (how many is unknown) later. Not surprisingly, a cause of death has not been released by officials.
