Video Supports DEA Agent's Exoneration in Memphis Burger King Shooting

A Tennessee prosecutor released surveillance video of a May DEA/Memphis Police arrest attempt at a Memphis Burger King in which employee Darrin Pigram was fatally shot. Shelby County DA Steve Mulroy declined to charge DEA Agent Levy Blandon, saying Pigram reached for a handgun and Blandon acted lawfully. The footage, released for transparency and lacking audio, shows the confrontation without body-worn camera footage; Tennessee law generally allows broad handgun carry, and the incident has spotlighted use-of-force questions surrounding gun violence.
