Law enforcement uses tear gas after hundreds in Senatobia protest following police shooting of toddler

Law enforcement officers used tear gas to disperse a crowd Tuesday in the north Mississippi city of Senatobia as people protested the police shooting Sunday that killed a 1-year-old boy and wounded an adult, ABC24 reported. National civil rights attorney Ben Crump is part of the legal team representing the child's family.

"A 1-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot," Crump said in a Tuesday statement. " … We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him."
