CLEVELAND (AP) — The head of Cleveland's biggest police union says officers have been testifying before a grand jury about the fatal shooting by a white officer of a 12-year-old black boy carrying a pellet gun last November.
Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association, said officers testified about the Tamir Rice case last week and on Monday. Loomis wouldn't discuss the officers' testimony but says an attorney accompanied them and they've "cooperated fully."
