A New York police officer will be indicted for shooting and killing an unarmed black man. "Officer Peter Liang, 27, who had been on the force for less than 18 months, was patrolling a darkened stairwell at the Louis H. Pink Houses in East New York when he fired a single shot that fatally struck the man, Akai Gurley, as he walked downstairs. Less than 12 hours after the shooting, Police Commissioner William J. Bratton called Mr. Gurley, 28, 'totally innocent' and characterized the shooting as an 'unfortunate accident.'" Al Baker and J. David Goodman in The New York Times.
