One Louisiana officer was fired and another was temporarily suspended Friday following a disciplinary hearing over their involvement in the fatal July 2016 shooting of a black man, the Baton Rouge police chief said. The decision comes days after state Attorney General Jeff Landry announced that criminal charges would not be filed against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling. Authorities located Sterling after responding to a report of a man with a gun outside the store. In the profanity-laced video, an officer can be heard yelling and cursing at Sterling and at one point threatens to shoot him in the head as Sterling asks what he did. The officer believed to be Salamoni then runs at Sterling, tackling him as the camera footage blurs with motion.
