CHICAGO (AP) — It sounds like something James Bond would carry: A knife that’s also a gun.
But it is the kind of thing police officers are warned about from time to time, just like guns disguised as belt buckles and tire gauges and motorcycle handlebars modified to fire a shotgun round.
The knife-gun isn’t well known outside of gun enthusiast circles, but it has found its way into the case surrounding the 2014 killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. The black teenager was shot 16 times by a white Chicago police officer who was only recently charged with murder.
The city late Friday released hundreds of pages of police reports and other investigation documents pertaining to the case, including a December 2012 bulletin warning officers about a “revolver knife” that Van Dyke cited.
