From The Montgomery Advertiser: Video of the fatal shooting of a University of South Alabama student shows him with his arms outstretched and his palms open seconds before a campus police officer fired. The video was taken by a security camera outside the university police station, where 18-year-old Gil Collar was fatally shot early Saturday morning. Police say Collar had taken LSD, was naked and was acting aggressively, but an attorney for Collar's family says the video shows that none of the student's actions justified the shooting.

They say when Collar got back to the campus he stripped naked, attacked two cars, and tried to bite the arm of a woman inside one of the cars. Collar then went to the campus police station and tried to go inside.
