Family questions fatal Norfolk police shooting
The family of 35 year old David Latham asks whether mental illness played a role after he was shot by Norfolk police Friday night at his parents home. Latham had schizophrenia and had recently stopped taking his medication, with police previously assisting him in obtaining psychiatric care. The shooting occurred after he threatened a knife wielding man, prompting questions about use of force and mental health intervention as city officials say the investigation continues.
