Meanwhile, in Delaware, police in the city of Wilmington are also facing criticism after a video surfaced of officers fatally shooting an African-American man in a wheelchair. The cellphone video, filmed by a bystander, shows officers yelling at 28-year-old Jeremy McDowell as they approach, followed by the sound of a gunshot. McDowell then appears to reach into the front of his jeans as several officers open fire. Police say they were responding to a 911 call that McDowell may have tried to shoot himself, and that they recovered a handgun at the scene. Family members say McDowell had been in a wheelchair since he was shot and paralyzed at the age of 18.
