Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) botched the last name of fallen officer Ella French Thursday night, referring to the deceased as “Ella Franks.”
Breitbart News reported that 29-year-old Ella French was shot and killed just after 9 p.m. Saturday, during a traffic stop, and her male partner was shot and left in critical condition.
CWB Chicago notes that Chicago Police Supt. David Brown also referenced French incorrectly, calling her “Ella Fitzgerald.”:
Breitbart News noted that two brothers were arrested and charged in connection with French’s death.
ABC 7 reported that 21-one-year-old Emonte Morgan faces charges of “first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.”
Twenty-two-year-old Eric Morgan faces charges of “aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and obstruction of justice.”
Breitbart News observed that Mayor Lightfoot blamed “guns” in the hours following French’s death.
