The 17-year-old teen shot by Salt Lake City cops outraging witnesses who said he posed no threat is in a coma and fighting for his life, according to a new report....
Mohamed was shot after two cops intervened in a fight around 8 p.m. Saturday near a downtown homeless shelter that is next to a shopping mall and movie theater, authorities said....
Mohameds friend, Selam Mohammed, told Fox 13 that Abdi had just picked up a piece of the broomstick when cops tried to break up the brawl with guns drawn.
The police said, drop it, once, then they shot him, Selam Mohammed said. We were trying to break it up before the police even came, but the police ran in on foot and pulled their guns out already.
Well, he was clearly practicing witchcraft.
