3 Honolulu Police Officers Face Murder Charges in Fatal Shooting of Teenager 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Hawaii, three Honolulu police officers are facing murder charges
after the fatal shooting of a teenage boy in April. Geoffrey Thom, the
officer who shot the boy, initially claimed 16-year-old Iremamber Sykap,
who was driving at the time of the killing, rammed his car into him. But
prosecutors say bodycam footage does not match the officer's account.
