AKRON COUNCIL UOF

EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING HIGH IN AKRON AFTER A CONTENTIOUS CITY COUNCIL MEETING EARLIER THIS WEEK WHERE A PROPOSED USE OF FORCE REVIEW WAS DISCUSSED IN THE CASE OF AN OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING DEATH OF A TEEN. 
AKRON POLICE SENT AN UPDATE SAYING THAT TWO SHELL CASES RECOVERED ON SCENE AT MILLER SOUTH SCHOOL WHERE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, QUOTE, "HAVE BEEN POSITIVELY MATCHED TO THE GUN RECOVERED ON SCENE FROM JAZMIR TUCKER." WE ASKED P-D IF THEY KNOW WHY THE GUN WAS FIRED THANKSGIVING NIGHT, AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. THIS UPDATE COMES AFTER AKRON CITY COUNCIL DECIDED TO DELAY VOTING FOR MAYOR SHAMMAS MALIK'S PROPOSAL TO HIRE AN OUTSIDE CONSULTING FIRM TO STUDY THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS USE OF FORCE POLICIES.
