A former Cleveland officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice has been fired from his new post as a ranger in West Virginia.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday it found insufficient evidence to support federal criminal charges against two officers in the fatal shooting death of Tamir Rice. The 12-year-old boy had been carrying a pellet gun when an officer shot him in 2014. Adriana Diaz reports.
The DOJ said video of the shooting was of too poor a quality for prosecutors to conclusively establish what had happened.
High school student Rooha Haghar tweeted: "our principal signaled for my mic to be turned off as soon as i said 'trayvon martin and tamir rice' and played it off as a technical difficulty. pathetic."
