DALLAS, Texas – DART Police have released new surveillance video detailing the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a 17‑year‑old, identified only as K.B., at Victory Station on Sunday night.

According to DART, a 911 caller reported a person with a gun at the station. The newly released surveillance footage shows an individual on the platform holding a raised weapon.

When officers arrived at the scene, DART stated that the teen ran from officers and later pointed a rifle toward them. Officers then opened fire.
