Saturday August 17th Rashad Cunningham, licensed to carry a handgun, was shot and killed by a Gary Police Officer, while sitting in the passenger seat with his handgun on his lap outside of his home. All that is known at this time 4 days later, is that officers were responding to a shots fired call in the area. Witnesses say officers rolled up demanded ID while approaching the vehicle, seen the handgun yelled gun and opened fire. To my knowledge this is all the available information at the time of this post. It appears Rashad is licensed, has no criminal history, and was not participating in illegal activity, according to witnesses. Nothing has been reported from GPD or the city of Gary, except to tell the public there is no body camera footage or dashcam footage.
If this is in fact how it all went down, I say we hold a really in Gary.
