Mississippi AG Rules Police Shooting of Infant Justified

Mississippi Attorney General's office said the Senatobia police officer's use of force was justified in the fatal shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, rejecting objections from the child's family and civil-rights attorney Ben Crump. The officer fired at a vehicle moving toward officers during a shoplifting investigation, killing the infant. Earlier reports from CNN and PBS noted the same conclusion and highlighted that civil-rights lawyers and experts continued to question the finding.
