Alabama police say man killed by officer "likely did not fire" shots

Alabama police said a 21-year-old who was shot and killed by an officer at a mall in Thanksgiving night "likely did not fire" the shots that wounded two people, retracting an earlier statement, AL.com reports.

The details: Hoover police spokesman Capt. Gregg Rector said in a press release late Friday that Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr. was mistakenly identified as the suspect who wounded an 18-year-old and 12-year-old. Rector, citing new evidence, said that while Bradford “may have been involved in some aspect of the altercation, he likely did not fire the rounds that injured the 18-year-old victim.”
