Vigil planned for Chicago police officer left paralyzed after a shooting outside Beverly bar

CHICAGO (CBS)-- A prayer vigil is planned for Thursday for a Chicago police officer left paralyzed after a shooting outside a bar in Beverly.

The vigil will be held at St. Rita High School, where officer Danny Golden, 32, graduated from along with several of his family members. 

So this is St. Rita's way of supporting him after such a life-changing and senseless shooting.

Prosecutors have said Golden and his brother were at a bar in Beverly early Saturday morning, when a fight broke out between several people. 

Surveillance video both inside and outside the bar showed Golden, who was off duty at the time, was not part of the bar fight, but was rather just trying to help by breaking it up.

At some point, one of three men now charged in the shooting shot Golden and his brother before driving off.

A bullet hit Golden's spine and remains lodged in his lung. That shooting left Golden paralyzed.

Police Supt. David Brown this week spoke of the dangers officers continue to face.

"This year, 34 Chicago officers have been shot at or shot in the line of duty; seven have been struck by gunfire. Brazen attacks against officer and violence in our communities is unacceptable. We won't tolerate it," Brown said.

Thursday night, at 6:30 p.m., well-wishers will gather at St. Rita High School, 7740 S Western Ave, to pray for Golden.

Meantime, the three men charged in the shooting - Demitrius Harrell, 28, Bryant Hayes, 22, and Justen Krismantis, 22 - all have been ordered held without bail.
