A federal agent who shot a Chicago woman multiple times after he said she struck his vehicle with her own bragged about his shooting skills in text messages with other agents, according to records presented Wednesday at a hearing in the case against the woman.

Records presented at the hearing showed that in a group Signal chat with other agents, which Exum described as a support group, he wrote in part: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: “Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes.”

        I deleted my comment because I realize it was aggressive. But since you’ve responded: Fuck your liberal centrist privilege. Youre the kind of bitch who is fine with state violence as long as you can keep shopping at target. You are part of what got us here.
