Upon entering the room, officer 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. Wranas death was a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to his abdomen as a result of shots fired from a bean bag shotgun. The bean bag cartridges travel at approximately 190 miles an hour, and the manufacturer warns that shots to the head, neck thorax, heart or spine can result in fatal injury, according to the complaint. After shooting Wrana, the officers handcuffed him, took photos of his injuries, and put him in a four-point restraint before transporting him to the hospital, the complaint states.
