A New York state trooper has been charged with manslaughter for fatally shooting an unarmed motorist, James Huber, after a high-speed chase.

The charges are a rare example of a criminal case being brought against an officer by New York’s attorney general. The trooper's union defended him, saying the slaying was justified. Body camera footage shows Nigro holding his gun in front of him as he approaches the car and ordering Huber to get out. Huber died of gunshot wounds at the scene.
