October 23, 2023
Rylan Wilder was cleaning up at a Chicago music school when an armed bank robbery suspect, fleeing from cops, ran inside. Police later shot and killed the suspect but also mistakenly shot Wilder. Although he survived, Wilder wondered if his dream of playing the guitar professionally was gone. Eighteen operations later, he learned to play the guitar in a whole new way. His family's lawsuit against the police department claimed "reckless" and "excessive" behavior. The department settled for $1.9 million.
