White House corrects narrative on bin Laden death; no human shield

The White House on Tuesday sought to clarify what actually happened when Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on Sunday.

The day after White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan said bin Laden resisted capture and used his wife as a human shield during the firefight that killed him, the White House provided a different version of events.

Bin Laden was not armed and did not employ one of his wives as a human shield, the White House said Tuesday. The wife was not killed in the fight.

The SEALs then made their way up a staircase, where they ran into one of bin Laden's sons on the way down. The Americans immediately shot and killed the son, who was also unarmed. Once on the third floor, the commandos threw open the door to bin Laden's bedroom. One of bin Laden's wives rushed toward the NAVY SEAL in the door, who shot her in the leg. Then, without hesitation, the same commando turned his gun on bin Laden, standing in what appeared to be pajamas, and fire two quick shots, one to the chest and one to the head.
