Texas DA Names Fired Officer Who Shot Unarmed Teenager in McDonald's Parking Lot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In San Antonio, Texas, Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales has
named James Brennand as the police officer who shot 17-year-old Erik
Cantu as he was eating in a Mc Donald's parking lot last week. Cantu
remains hospitalized in critical condition. Brennand opened fire on the
teen moments after opening the driver-side door, even though Cantu posed
no risk and was unarmed.
