Attorney John Burris consoles Gwendoyln Woods as she addresses the media regarding the fatal police shooting of her son, Mario Woods.
A lawyer representing Mario Woods’ family showed a new video of Woods’ fatal police shooting and announced that he has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
On Dec. 2, at least five San Francisco police officers fired at Woods, who was a suspect in a stabbing. Woods, 26, allegedly wielded a knife at the officers before they fired at least 15 times.
Two mobile phone videos surfaced after the shooting, and attorney John Burris played a previously unreleased third video at a news conference Friday.
Burris, with Woods’ mother and brothers sitting at his side, showed freeze frames to argue that lethal force was unnecessary. SOURCE
