Police justified using deadly force in Montgomery shooting

When members of the Town of Montgomery police department responded to a domestic call in the early morning hours of May 16, the situation turned into a standoff, with the suspect, Anthony Bostick, refusing to come out of his apartment on Abbey Avenue. After hours of negotiations and suicidal comments by Bostick, officers went inside the home. That's when police say Bostick fired at the officers, hitting police chief Arnold Amthor in the shoulder. Officers returned fire , but Bostick wasn't injured; instead, authorities say he shot himself in the bathroom. After the incident, Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler held a news conference, revealing the body camera footage from when officers went inside the apartment. On Monday, Hoovler announced the grand jury declined to file charges against the officer who fired shots at Bostick. He says he personally handled this case to determine if police used deadly physical force against an unarmed person. "The images fr...

(localmemphis.com) - Charges have been reduced against a Memphis father arrested after his 3-year-old son was shot and killed. Cortez Wilkerson is now charged with reckless homicide, along with weapon and drug charges. That’s what he was originally charged with before the charges were upgraded to first degree murder and child abuse & neglect. A judge dismissed the upgraded charges, but the D.A. says they can still be presented to a grand jury. Memphis police say Saturday, July 8th, three-year-old Kash Sharp was found lying on a walkway at the New Horizon Apartments in Whitehaven. He died at the hospital. According to an affidavit, Wilkerson told police he awoke to a gunshot, and found Kash in his lap shot in the head. However, investigators say the physical evidence on the scene does not match that claim. (Th...
