Councilwoman seeks to abolish sagging pants law; questions remain in officer-involved shooting


A total of nine shots were fired during the Feb. 5 police chase that ended in Anthony Childs' death.

Forensic evidence showed Officer Traveion Brooks fired eight shots and three of the bullets hit 31-year-old Childs. Childs shot one bullet into his own chest. That was the shot that killed him, according to the coroner.

Who fired the first shot, Brooks or Childs, has been a subject of controversy. The coroner said he doesn't know the answer and the first two shots occurred almost simultaneously. Brooks alleged Childs shot himself first, according to Shreveport Police Department's spokeswoman.
