Mississippi has released video showing the fatal shooting of a 1-year-old boy by a police officer. Kohen Wiley was killed in June when Senatobia police officer Sgt. Hunter Foster fired his gun into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call. State authorities have cleared Foster of criminal wrongdoing. Foster’s attorney says his client had “no choice” but to shoot at the vehicle because it was going to hit him. But Kohen’s family says footage shows the shooting was not justified. Ben Crump, who is representing the family, says Foster was not in danger when he fired into the vehicle. Crump says the video shows Foster fired the fatal shot from the passenger side of the car.
