ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) The family of a man shot and killed by Albuquerque police after he brandished a pair of knives says an autopsy report shows he was shot nine times. The Albuquerque Journal reports that the family on Wednesday accused the Albuquerque Police Department of “overkill'' in the shooting death of Vincent Wood after the family saw the autopsy report.
Wood, who his family said was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, was shot earlier this month by two Albuquerque Police Department officers while brandishing two large knives at them in a gas station parking lot in the northeast part of the city.
The family says the autopsy report details nine gunshot wounds that Wood suffered when he was killed.
