A protest outside a Mississippi Walmart turned tense Tuesday as demonstrators demanded answers over the police shooting death of 1-year-old Kohen Kartier Wiley. Video shows crowds gathering in the parking lot, chanting and confronting lines of officers in riot gear just days after the toddler was killed during a confrontation between police and suspected shoplifters. Authorities say an officer opened fire after a vehicle allegedly drove toward officers, while community members continue to question the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The officer involved has been placed on administrative leave as state investigators probe the deadly incident.
