Tragic Police Shooting Ends in Conviction of Officer

A California Transit Police Officer shot and killed a suspect by mistake, on January 1, 2009.  Apparently he meant to deploy his Taser, and mistakenly fired his firearm into the suspects back.  He has been convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter and is awaiting sentencing.  The story is HERE on at CNN.com

There is actual cell phone video of the shooting here at YouTube

  1. Police officers have difficult jobs which require immediate decisions and reactions. An unfortunate accident, but an accident none the less.
