Texas: Video Shows Deputies Killing Man After He Raised Both Hands 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In other news from Texas, bystander video appears to show sheriff's
deputies near San Antonio fatally shooting a man Friday just after he
raised his hands in surrender. Cellphone footage broadcast by a local
ABC station shows a man suspected of domestic violence raising his hands
in the air. The station froze the footage just before deputies opened
fire, killing the man. Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau acknowledged
the video is "cause for concern." An investigation is underway.
