Los Angeles: Protests After Two Fatal Police Shootings

HeadlineOct 04, 2016

Meanwhile, protests are continuing in Los Angeles following two fatal police shootings over the weekend. On Saturday, police shot and killed 18-year-old Carnell Snell Jr., who police claim was holding a gun, although many dispute that claim. The identity of the second person killed by police, also on Saturday, has not been released. Police say he was shot after officers confused a replica of a gun for a real gun. Among those arrested at Monday’s protests in Los Angeles was Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors and Black Lives Matter organizer Melina Abdullah. Both have been released.
