Alabama police thought they had shot and killed the man responsible for shooting two teens on Thanksgiving day. Turns out they killed the wrong man.
A fight broke out at Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham and shots were fired. An eighteen-year-old was shot twice and a twelve-year-old innocent bystander was also shot in the back. When police arrived on the scene, they shot and killed 21-year-old Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr. of Hueytown..
At first, reports said Bradford was fleeing the scene with a weapon but police are now saying he was not the shooter Now, Bradford's family is demanding to see the video of the footage to get to the bottom of what really happened. Many at the scene are reporting that the office did not give a warning before firing on Bradford, shooting him in the face.
