CHICAGO - A 14-year-old boy went into cardiac arrest and was
unconscious at a Chicago hospital Tuesday after police shot him with
a Taser stun gun, officials said.

The boy, a state ward who lives at a residential group home on the
North Side, became enraged Monday morning when asked to remove his
baseball cap.

He then broke four windows and battered three workers at the home,
Uhlich Children's Advantage Network, Chicago police said.

Police say the boy lunged at a sergeant, who then shot him with the
Taser, a weapon that applies a powerful electrical impulse.

The boy has been charged with three counts of aggravated battery to
personnel and one count of aggravated battery to a police officer,
police said.
