New York Launches Probe of Fatal Shooting by Off-Duty Officer
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in New York, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened an
investigation into the fatal off-duty police shooting of an unarmed
Brooklyn man on the 4th of July. Delrawn Small was driving with his
girlfriend and three children through East New York when he and off-duty
police officer Wayne Isaacs had a confrontation while driving. The
police says Small then got out of his car and punched Officer Isaacs in
the face, although a witness says Small did not hit the officer. Officer
Isaacs then shot Small multiple times, killing him.
