[Nguyen:] Five young men are spending the weekend in the hospital after bullets began flying outside a high school in Chicago's South Side. Police say the shots were fired after people left a basketball game. Police say the shooting appears to be gang-related, and security cameras at the scene are providing some good leads.
[Holmes:] We turn to another police shooting, we often see these police shootings, sometimes justified and unjustified, but there's a case that's calling some outrage in New Orleans. And FBI is actually looking at this one because a man was shot, a black man shot in the back by police at least a dozen times.
[Nguyen:] As CNN's Sean Callebs reports, the incident happened just after Adolph Grimes had come home to New Orleans.
[Sean Callebs, Cnn Correspondent:] As fireworks exploded near the French Quarter on New Year's Eve, 22-year-old Adolph Grimes, or Chris as he's known to his family, just pulled up to his grandmother's New Orleans home after a five-hour drive from Houston.
[Adolph Grimes Jr., Victim's Father:] He made it for 12:00 o'clock exactly, just seconds to spare.
[Callebs:] A scant three hours later, he lay dying on the sidewalk, a half a block from his grandmother's front door. Fireworks giving way to the hue of flashing police lights. The Orleans parish coroner says Grimes was shot 14 times, including 12 times in the back.
[Patricia Grimes, Victim's Mother:] The violence has to stop. My child's death will not be meaningless.
[Callebs:] And Grimes didn't die at the hand of common street thugs. He was shot and killed by New Orleans police officers. The family wants to know why. Why cops descended on a young man with no police record who works for a phone company and teaches Bible study in Houston? [on camera]: Have the police told you anything?
[P. Grimes:] No. I know just as much as you know.
[Callebs:] The police department won't release the names of the officers involved or the shooting report, saying the investigation is ongoing. But Police Superintendent Warren Riley says Grimes shot at police first when plain clothes officers surrounded Grimes' car. Riley says officers are trained to fire when fired upon and fire more than one shot. The FBI is now investigating, following a request from the Grimes family.
[Warren Riley, New Orleans Police Superintendent:] We think that the family should do everything they can, to make sure that this investigation is as thorough and complete as possible, so that they know the truth.
[Callebs:] Grimes had a gun, and a legal permit to carry the weapon. Authorities also say they found a shotgun in the car's trunk. The family says that's not true, and so far police have not produced the weapon. The 22-year-old, according to family members, had just walked out the front door and was in a car waiting for his cousin when the shooting started. Grimes' relatives don't believe for a minute that he opened fire first.
[Robert Jenkins, Grimes' Family Attorney:] He collapsed right here.
[Callebs:] And the family attorney believes the investigation will show rogue cops and sloppy police work.
[Jenkins:] We know the FBI is going to do a full and complete investigation. And we're hoping that criminal charges brought against all of these officers for the execution of this kid.
[Callebs:] It doesn't make sense, the family says over and over a young man who has never been arrested, or in trouble with the law, a loving father with a good job. A grieving mother and father say they won't be silenced. And say they are not worried about a code of silence among officers, the so-called "blue wall."
[A. Grimes:] The wall is going to come down just like the walls of Jericho came down.
[Nguyen:] Nine police officers involved in the incident have been assigned to desk duty while the case is under investigation.
[Holmes:] A Boston firefighter is dead after his ladder truck crashed into an apartment building. You're taking a look at the scene there. Officials say the truck was returning from a routine call when it came down a steep hill and slammed into the building. Four other firefighters and also some children were in that building. They were hurt.
[Nguyen:] Well, President Bush's term coming to a close and so are the term limits on Bushisms. We're going to take a look back at some of his more memorable quotes.
[Holmes:] There are a lot of them.
[Nguyen:] It's going to be good.
[Holmes:] Yes. I don't even know.
[Nguyen:] Oh.
[Holmes:] Betty, we have a situation in "
[The Situation Room." Nguyen:] Yes, we do.
[Holmes:] That is our Wolf Blitzer. I don't think...
[Nguyen:] Look at him, he's got few moves.
[Holmes:] I don't know if that's his song, though.
[Nguyen:] "Apple Bottom Jeans."
[Holmes:] Yes. Wolf and any song with the lyrics: Apple Bottom Jeans, boots with the fur...
[Nguyen:] Boots with the fur.
[Holmes:] ... is going to go together. But that's our man, Wolf Blitzer, and we love him. And you're going to see him like we've never seen him before. Stay here.
