Ex-officer charged with murder in shooting of 12-year-old
PHILADELPHIA — — A fired Philadelphia police officer has been charged with murderwho prosecutors said Monday was on the ground and unarmed when the officer fired the fatal shot.

Krasner called the entire foot-chase “tactically unsound" and said the video was “disturbing to watch," though when pressed he refused to characterize the shooting beyond saying it was clear to him there was evidence to support a first-degree murder charge.
