Ever Had A Police Shooting Near You?

In the early 1970's my cousin was in a car driving back from a high school basketball game.  It was somewhere around Jackson County Kentucky.  The police mistook his car for a car being used my violent criminals and opened fire on them.  They killed my cousin's friend who was riding with him at the time.  The police just let my cousin go home from the hospital and told him not to talk about it to anyone.

I heard this story for the first time just a few years ago at a family reunion and it sounded kind of unbelievable.  The next year my cousin's sister brought a copy of the story from a Lexington newspaper.
