<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bond hearing was held for the Morgan brothers on Tuesday before Cook County Judge Arthur Willis &#8211; though Emonte did not attend because he remains hospitalized from injuries sustained when a third officer returned fire.<br>Prosecutors said Emonte admitted to investigators that he pulled his handgun out of his waistband and opened fire. Willis ordered Emonte held without bond on charges of first-degree murder of a peace officer, attempted murder of two other officers, unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.<br>&#8216;They didn&#8217;t have their weapons drawn, they weren&#8217;t firing on him, and callously (Emonte) shoots and kills one, and the other is in critical condition,&#8217; the judge said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cook County Assistant State&#8217;s Attorney James Murphy said cops had stopped the SUV because of expired plates.<br>The brothers initially followed officers&#8217; instructions, handing over the vehicle&#8217;s keys and getting out of the SUV. ; <br>But the situation escalated after Emonte refused to put down a drink and cellphone that he was holding, Murphy said. &#8216;He began physically jerking his arms away from the officers,&#8217; Murphy said. <br>Footage from police body cameras shows Emonte had a handgun tucked into his waistband, according to Cook County prosecutor. ;<br>As he struggled with police, he began firing several shots, striking French once in the head and a 39-year-old officer in the right eye, right shoulder and in his brain.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both officers fell to the ground face up, their body cameras still recording, Murphy said. At one point, Emonte could be seen stepping over the 39-year-old wounded officer before stepping out of view. <br>In the meantime, Eric had run off during the struggle, and the third officer chased after him down, Murphy said. ;<br>When that officer heard gunshots, he ran back the scene of the traffic stop and exchanged gunfire with Monty before falling to the ground.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eric also ran back, and his brother handed the gun to him, according to court documents. The third officer got back up and shot at Monty again, hitting him in the abdomen. <br>Murphy said Monty gave a statement on video in which he admitted to drinking, having a gun and open firing on two officers. An initial court appearance is set for Aug. 16. <br>At a separate bond hearing Tuesday afternoon, a judge ordered Eric to be held without bond. ; <br>Eric, who authorities say was captured in a yard where he ran to dump his brother&#8217;s gun, is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and obstruction of justice. <br>A third man, Jamel Danzy, 29, of Indiana, is charged with supplying the semiautomatic handgun used in the shooting. ; Danzy is accused of buying the weapon from a licensed gun dealer in Hammond, Indiana, in March and provided it to an Illinois resident who he knew could neither buy nor possess guns because of a felony conviction. <br>French was the first Chicago police officer to die from a gunshot in the line of duty in nearly three years.. ;</p>
