Autopsy Reveals Police Shot Man in Back 3 Times in Wrongful Alabama Mall Killing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Alabama, an autopsy of the man shot dead by police on Thanksgiving
Day after reportedly being mistaken for a gunman revealed that he was
shot three times in the back. Twenty-one-year-old Emantic Fitzgerald
Bradford Jr. was killed by police after they responded to a shooting at
a mall in suburban Birmingham, where two teenagers were injured. A
lawyer for Bradford's family says the autopsy confirms that the victim
was not a threat and that he was moving away from the police.
