Tulane University police fatally shoot man who allegedly shot two people on campus
On Thursday outside Tulane Medical School in New Orleans, 38-year-old Lafimmas Leevon Haynes shot and critically wounded two people.
A male Tulane University Police officer approached Haynes and a struggle ensued. Bodycam and bystander video shows Haynes reaching for the officer’s gun.
A female TUPD officer then fired three shots, fatally striking Haynes.
A gun was recovered at the scene.
Haynes’ family is demanding answers, with relatives questioning why officers did not use a taser instead of deadly force and calling for the female officer to lose her job.
