CHICAGO — Five Cook County Jail inmates who applauded as the man charged with the fatal shooting of a Chicago police commander was led by their cell could face reprisals for their actions, a jail official said Friday. The inmates were in the holding cell awaiting action on their cases. Legghette is charged with first-degree murder in Tuesday’s shooting death of Commander Paul Bauer. Police say they wanted to question Legghette Tuesday when he took off running and Bauer pursued him on foot. He caught Legghette near the James R. Thompson Center, a government building, where the two struggled and Legghette fell down the stairs.
