The Anchorage Police Dept. on Wednesday released video of a deadly officer-involved shooting that left 34-year-old Kris Handy dead on May 13th of this year.ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Anchorage Police Department has been involved in five shootings in Anchorage in less than two months this year, starting with the one that killed Handy on May 13.
The attorneys involved in this case are working with Benjamin Crump, a notable lawyer who has famously represented the families of Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery, Martin Lee Anderson, and Breonna Taylor. It says Handy wasn’t a threat the night police were called to his apartment because he was holding a shotgun in one hand and it was pointed to the ground with no indication he was going to use the gun.
Handy is seen walking down a short flight of stairs, his body illuminated by light from the apartment complex. After the shooting, during a news conference, police chief designee Biannca Cross said that he raised a gun toward the officers.
