A man in a motorized wheelchair was shot to death by a Tucson police officer after brandishing a knife outside of a home improvement store.
An attorney for a Tucson police officer who fatally shot a man in a wheelchair says the knife-wielding suspect made an employee fear for his life.
The former police officer, Ryan Remington, had been indicted on one count of manslaughter in August for a deadly shooting outside a store on Tucson's south side.
