Brooklyn DA: No Charges for NYPD Officers Who Fatally Shot Teen

Rocco Vertuccio

Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson on Thursday confirmed he will not prosecute the two city officers who shot and killed a 16-year-old boy last year.

Kimani Gray's family members say they are disgusted and disappointed by the decision.

The officers shot Gray seven times on an East Flatbush street last March.

Gray's family said he was just on his way home from a party, but police say he pulled out a gun when they tried to question him.
