Police say Kristopher Handy pointed a gun at officers before they opened fire. A neighbor with security footage of the incident says otherwise.
Virginia Miller reviews security footage of a police shooting captured on the morning of May 13, 2024.
Miller said she saw Handy go inside his home, in Anchorage’s Sand Lake neighborhood, for about 10 minutes, before police arrived. She said he then walked out with his gun, and walked to the officers. “I see one thing on my camera,” Miller said. “And they’re saying he pointed the gun, and I’ve slowed down that footage. I have gone by, frame by frame, and I can’t see any moment, any moment in which he was pointing the gun at the time they shot him or the whole time of him walking down.”At a Monday morning press conference, Police Chief Bianca Cross, who has led the state’s largest police department for less than a month, said otherwise.
Miller, the neighbor, said she initially didn’t want to be involved in the incident. But she said she realized she had some of the only footage of the shooting, and she decided to upload it to YouTube and Facebook.
