Hey, stop right there, man. STOP RIGHT THERE. >> MULTIPLE RESIDENTS CALLED 911 reporting a man carrying what appeared to be a 9 mm handgun moving through traffic. [music] They noted he might have mental health issues, but was not pointing the weapon at anyone. Officers arrived on scene and identified the man as 31-year-old [music] Bishar Hassan. He did not comply with commands to stop and pulled a black handgun, seemingly attempting to hand it to the [music] officers. Three officers fired approximately 20 rounds striking him. Officers attempted resuscitation and transported him to the hospital, but he was [music] pronounced dead later that day. Subsequent investigation revealed that Hassan was actually holding a BB gun, but officers could not [music] determine his intentions at the time. All three officers were placed on administrative leave pending an internal review. Hassan's family, restricted [music] by a gag order, did not receive the full body cam footage until 3 years later and accused [music] the officers of using excessive force. Hassan came from a Somali immigrant family and was not fluent in English. The local police [music] union president stated that officers are trained to assume anyone holding a firearm intends to cause harm. Following public [music] disclosure of the incident, hundreds of residents gathered downtown calling for transparency and accountability in policing, as well as body cameras for officers. Although Anchorage had budgeted [music] for body cameras for all 430 officers, implementation had not been completed. [music] The District Attorney's Office declined to file criminal charges against the officers. Hassan's family has filed a $20 million civil lawsuit, which is still ongoing.
