Apr. 7, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 2282
A video captured what appears to have been a killing of an injured non-combatant. The events are as follows: A black sedan crashed into a wall, the driver fell out of the driver's door and lay wounded on the ground. The man was seen moving his right arm and one of his legs. A soldier was searching the car while a Captain standing on the driver side of the vehicle fired a shot in the direction of the wounded man. A few seconds later a second shot was fired and a third shot 15 to 30 seconds after that. The wounded man was no longer moving and a substantial amount of blood, and what appeared to be brain matter was spilled out onto the ground.
