On April 23, a 36-year-old Afghan man named Jamal Wali was stopped for speeding in Fairfax County, Virginia. Wali was uncooperative with the officer who stopped him and had a gun on the passenger's side seat of the vehicle. For several minutes, Wali cursed the officer and complained about how he was treated in the US. After two other officers arrived, Wali grabbed the gun and fired at the officers, who returned fire and killed him. Two officers were wounded in the arm.
Wali reportedly worked with the American forces in Afghanistan. He was married with 4 children. Whether all of his statements to the officer before being shot are true is up in the air.
Fairfax County police have released the body cam footage of the entire incident. which can be viewed on Fox News here (viewer warning). The video is also available via the New York Post here.
