Cop Shoots Fellow Officer While Killing Student in High School Bathroom


Knoxville, Tennessee, DA releases body camera footage of school shootings. Anthony Thompson Jr., 17, was shot and killed by a police officer in April. DA Charme Allen says it was "reasonable" for officer Clabough to feel his life was in danger. The DA says the use of force was justified and the officers involved will not face charges. The school and police officers involved have all been cleared of any wrongdoing, Allen says. The shooting occurred in the school bathroom where Thompson was found with a gun. The two officers involved in the shooting will not be charged, the DA said Wednesday night.  The full investigation will be aired on CNN at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 13. Ahead of the show, com will share the bodycam footage from the school shooting with you. Anthony Thompson Jr. was first reported entering into a domestic incident with another student at Austin-East Magnet High School. Thompson got into a second domestic assault at the high school. Police were not aware that Thompson Jr.'s had a gun when they arrived at the school to arrest him. Officers attempted to take a gun out of his possession. One bullet was fired from the gun, it went through a trash can. Thompson was arrested after a scuffle with the officers and the gun was taken from his possession after it was fired in a bathroom. The mother of the domestic assault victim, Regina Perkins, text messages Anthony Thompson Jr., concerning her daughter before the incident. Thompson never left the school bathroom after the text exchange with the mother, DA Charme Allen says. The officers were looking at school cameras for 10 minutes to try and locate Thompson Jr in a school bathroom when they made contact with him in a stairwell. Thompson Jr was found with a gun in his possession and was taken into custody. The gun was later found in a toilet in the school stairwell, where it was discovered to be in the possession of a student. Officer Clabough was the one who ultimately fired
