Brooklyn federal jail officer charged with shooting civilian after 5-mile car chase
Briefly

Leon Wilson, a correction officer with over two decades at the Bureau of Prisons, faces significant charges after allegedly pursuing and shooting at a civilian vehicle.

Witness accounts and video evidence depict Wilson exceeding speed limits and engaging in a hazardous chase through Brooklyn, ultimately injuring a passenger.
Wilson is accused of failing to report his use of firearms, which breaches strict protocols within the prison bureau concerning the discharge of weapons.
