A Car is a Deadly Weapon?

Who would have thunk it?

• A Hammond, Indiana, man whom Chicago police shot as he allegedly tried to run down an officer with a pickup truck outside a Belmont Cragin business last pleaded guilty to attempted murder on Tuesday. Carlos Sanches-Roa, 30, received a six-year sentence from Judge Aleksandra Gillespie, who ordered him to serve 85% of the time.

  Prosecutors said video showed Sanches-Roa accelerating directly toward the officer and striking him outside a business in the 5600 block of West Belmont Avenue around 2 a.m. on May 31, 2025.

  Chicago police officers had responded to calls of a battery in progress and shots fired near Belmont and Central avenues around 2 a.m. on May 31, 2025, according to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. An employee directed the responding officers toward Sanches-Roa as he entered a Chevrolet Silverado, officials said. The officers approached and ordered him to get out, but he did not comply.

  Instead, Sanches-Roa accelerated toward the officers and struck one of them, according to COPA. Two officers opened fire as he drove away. Police found the Silverado in the 3200 block of North Menard Avenue and discovered that Sanches-Roa had been shot. Officers recovered a gun from inside the truck, COPA said.

Sentence seems a bit short - six years for the attempted murder?

How many for the gun?
