Video shows NY officer fatally shooting 13-year-old on ground; Police say he pointed a replica gunMorgan Norwood has more on the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old boy by police in Utica , New York .Video released late Saturday shows an officer in upstate New York fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy who had been tackled to the ground after he ran from police and pointed a replica handgun at them.

The body camera video released by police captures an officer saying he needs to pat them down to ensure they don't have any weapons in their possession. Immediately one of the two, identified by police as as Nyah Mway, runs away. "During a ground struggle" with the teen, one of the officers fired a single shot that struck the boy in the chest, Utica Police Chief Mark Williams said.

A bystander video posted to Facebook shows one of the officers chasing after Nyah Mway and tackling him to the ground. It also shows the officer punching the teen as two other officers arrive. A gunshot rings out as the teen is on the ground and the officers quickly stand up. Bystanders scream at the police throughout the recordings, and at one point an officer yells back: "We're trying to save him right now!"During his "public safety statement," a brief interview typically done in the aftermath of a police shooting to ensure there is no additional threat, Husnay said he fired one round "straight towards the ground." He did not know whether Nyah Mway had fired at the officers but said he thought the weapon was a 22-caliber handgun.
