An aide to Mayor Rahm Emanuel has allegedly been assaulted while attending a vigil for two people who were fatally shot by Chicago police.
A police spokesman says a man approached the 50-year-old staff member at a Sunday vigil for 19-year-old QuintonioLeGrier and 55-year-old Bettie Jones. The man cursed the mayor, then punched and kicked the male aide. Police say no one was arrested.
Emanuel spokesman Adam Collins says the office is aware of an "altercation" involving a mayoral staffer. Collins says, "We take this matter very seriously and the incident is under review."
LeGrier and Jones were shot and killed by police early Saturday after officers responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
Police have said LeGrier was "combative" toward officers before he was shot and Jones, a neighbor, was accidentally hit by gunfire.
