Police Shoot 95-Year-Old WWII Vet to Death for Refusing to Go to the Hospital
The defendant officers responded to employees’ 911 call, and also were unable to persuade Wrana to leave his room and go to the hospital.
The officers conferred and decided to seize Wrana by force, according to the complaint.
Upon entering the room, defendant Taylor fired “five rounds of bean bag cartridges from a 12 gauge shotgun within a distance of approximately only six to eight feet from Mr. Wrana, far less than the distance allowed for discharging that shotgun, and, consequently, savagely wounding and killing Mr. Wrana,” the lawsuit states. “Mr. Wrana bled to death as a result of the shotgun wounds inflicted upon him by defendants. The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled that Mr. Wrana’s death was a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to his abdomen as a result of shots fired from a bean bag shotgun.”
