Cleveland police to review shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice

CLEVELAND | BY KIM PALMER

Cleveland police will review from start-to-finish the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice to determine if the two officers involved or others should face disciplinary action in the November 2014 incident, officials said on Tuesday.

A grand jury on Monday declined to bring criminal charges against the officers in the death of Rice, who was brandishing a replica gun in a park before an officer shot him, drawing a protest on Tuesday afternoon in downtown Cleveland.

"People are very upset about it and I believe legitimately and rightfully so," Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said of Rice's shooting and other police-involved incidents around the United States.

"A 12-year-old lost his life. We take this seriously. We do soul searching," Jackson told a news conference.
