Officer Suspended for Administrative Violations in Eddie Irizarry Shooting

A Philadelphia police officer who fatally shot a 27-year-old man last week will be fired for administrative violations, according to officials. The decision comes after the attorney representing the victim's family released a video that contradicted the initial police account of the incident. The officer, Mark Dial, is being suspended for 30 days with the intent to dismiss him for violating department policy related to refusal to obey orders from a superior officer and failure to cooperate in any departmental investigation. The video shows Dial shooting into the driver's side of the victim's vehicle seconds after getting out of his police vehicle. The investigation into the shooting and the accuracy of the initial account is ongoing.
