Chicago cops under pressure over shootings

THE families of two black Chicagoans killed by police have accused officers of using excessive force, piling pressure on a city facing a US federal probe over possible racial bias in policing.

POLICE, responding to a domestic disturbance call, shot Quintonio LeGrier, 19, a male college student who was visiting his father, and Bettie Jones, a 55-year-old mother of five, on Saturday.
