In Alabama, an autopsy of the man shot dead by police on Thanksgiving Day after reportedly being mistaken for a gunman revealed that he was shot three times in the back. Twenty-one-year-old Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr. was killed by police after they responded to a shooting at a mall in suburban Birmingham, where two teenagers were injured. A lawyer for Bradford’s family says the autopsy confirms that the victim was not a threat and that he was moving away from the police.
