Anger Erupts over NYPD Killing of Brooklyn Teenager

HeadlineMar 12, 2013

A candlelight vigil for a 16-year-old boy shot dead by police in Brooklyn, New York, turned into a raucous protest Monday as residents expressed their outrage over the killing of Kimani Gray. Riot police packed the streets while some residents reportedly broke car windows, looted a pharmacy and threw bottles at police. At least one person was hospitalized. City Councilmember Jumaane Williams said: “There’s a lot of anger here. This isn’t just from one particular shooting. A whole community has not been heard for far too long.”
