Chicago police release video of shooting of 13-year-old

Footage from police body cameras appears to show that a thirteen-year old boy shot dead in the US city of Chicago last month was not armed at the moment police opened fire. The video, released in response to community pressure, seems to show Adam Toledo dropping a handgun and raising his hands less than a second before he was shot in the chest in the early hours of 29th March. Patrick Smith is crime reporter for WBEZ radio in Chicago.
