COLUMBUS (AP) — A Columbus city spokesperson says an officer’s instruction for other officers to turn off their body worn cameras in the aftermath of Andre Hill’s fatal shooting is part of an investigation into Hill’s death.
Glenn McEntyre, of the Department of Public Safety, which oversees the police division, says it’s possible some officers were not required to have their cameras turned on.
McEntyre says who did and didn’t follow policy is part of the investigation.
The comment was heard in new footage released Thursday.
Hill was shot Dec. 22 as he walked out of a garage holding a cell phone.
The officer responsible for the shooting has been fired but a criminal investigation continues.
