Authorities Release Video Of Usaamah Rahim Shooting

03:09

Boston law enforcement authorities are promising transparency in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a Roslindale man by members of Boston's joint terrorism task force.

They've released a rather blurry surveillance video of the confrontation so just what it shows is in dispute. Officials say Usaamah Rahim planned to kill a Boston police officer. His family says the video shows that he was not approaching authorities in an aggressive way.

Listen above to the full report from WBUR's Bruce Gellerman.
