Akron, Ohio officials released body camera video showing an officer firing more than a dozen shots within about 25 seconds of exiting his vehicle during a Nov. 11 encounter outside a bar after 911 calls reported a man with a gun. Mayor Shammas Malik said it is the city’s current understanding the man did not have a gun on his person when confronted; Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation has opened a probe and the officer is on paid leave while the department conducts a separate internal review.
