Disabled Teen Critically Injured After Police Shoot Him Nine Times
Seventeen-year-old Victor Perez, an autistic teen with physical disabilities, is in critical condition after being shot nine times by Pocatello police officers. He has undergone three surgeries, including a leg amputation, and has been revived twice after cardiac arrest. Videos of the incident have fueled public outrage and calls for an independent investigation into the shooting, currently being conducted by the Eastern Idaho Critical Incident Task Force. A community candlelight vigil is planned to show support for Perez and his family.
