Immediately after EJ was killed, Hoover Police issued a statement saying that EJ was the suspected shooter and was brandishing a gun, despite witness testimony to the contrary.
Police formally retracted that statement a day later and the Chief finally apologized to EJ's family yesterday (not for wrongly killing EJ, but for the false claim after the killing).
EJ was left lying and bleeding in the galleria. Some witnesses took photos and posted them. Police never contacted EJ's family to inform them that they'd killed EJ. EJ's dad, a retired police officer, finally got the confirmation when he reached out to a friend in the Hoover PD. :(
