A suburban Dallas police chief said Monday that his department inaccurately described why an officer fired at a moving vehicle over the weekend, killing a 15-year-old boy. Jordan Edwards and four other teenagers were in a vehicle leaving a party in Balch Springs Saturday night when an officer shot at them with his rifle. But Balch Springs Police Chief Jonathan Haber said Monday that video shows the vehicle not reversing, but instead "moving forward as the officers approached." "I do have questions in relation to my observation of the video and what is consistent with the policies and core values of Balch Springs Police Department,” Haber told reporters. Merritt said the shooting of Edwards, who was black, brings to mind other deaths of black people in encounters with police.
