Video footage released Monday showed Tulsa police shooting an
unarmed man to death on Friday night after he approached his SUV with
his arms raised.
In footage filmed from a police helicopter,
Terence Crutcher, 40, can be seen slowly walking from the edge of a
street north of Tulsa toward his vehicle, which authorities said had
been reported abandoned at 7:36 p.m. (8:36 p.m. ET) and left running in
the middle of the road.
For several seconds, an officer follows Crutcher from behind with a gun
trained on him. Three more officers then converge on the scene as
Crutcher lowers his hands and approaches his SUV. While standing beside
the driver's side door, he suddenly drops to the street. Moments later,
blood can be seen saturating his white t-shirt.
