Amir Locke: US gun group defends armed man killed by police

5 February 2022

A gun rights group has condemned the Minneapolis police killing of a man who was shot while lying on a couch.

Bodycam video shows Amir Locke, 22, stirring under a blanket before he is gunned down by a Swat team during a dawn raid on Wednesday.

Mr Locke, who appeared to be holding a pistol but was not the target of the warrant, died within minutes.

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus called Mr Locke "a law-abiding citizen who was lawfully in possession of a firearm".
