Video of fatal Minneapolis police shooting shows few details

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — Police released body-camera video Wednesday from a six-hour standoff that ended with officers fatally shooting a Black Minneapolis man, but the images did not show whether he was holding a gun or threatening officers. Police spokesman Howie Padilla said the city had not yet identified video “that shows the clearest image” of what happened, and he urged anyone who might have other videos to come forward. The police videos included audio of gunshots and officers saying “shots fired,” but the recordings did not make clear whether it was Sundberg or police who fired the shots. The family’s attorney, Jeff Storms, said Sundberg’s parents “send their deepest sympathies to all of those impacted by Tekle’s mental health crisis.” He said they also hope any bystanders with video of the shooting will come forward. Huffman said the officers “demonstrated bravery under fire, a commitment to protecting the public and a determination to use communication whenever possible.” Police tried for hours to persuade Sundberg to surrender and brought his parents to the scene.
