Stephon Clark was shot eight times -- including seven times in the back, according to a private autopsy ordered by the family.
Civil Right Attorney Benjamin Crump released an independent autopsy report in the police shooting death of Clark, an unarmed 22-year-old black man who was shot at 20 times by Sacramento officers in his grandmother's backyard.
The other two bullets hit Clark in the neck and the left side of his body. The only bullet that struck him from the front was the one on the left side of his body.
The private autopsy was performed by Dr. Bennet Omalu, known for his work in discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
"The narrative that had been put forth was that they had to open fire because he was charging at them," Crump said during a news conference Friday. "Well obviously based on Dr. Omalu's findings in the family's autopsy it suggests all the bullets were from behind."

This is a really Bad optic for the “Only the police should have guns” narrative.
I’m surprised there was no coroner autopsy. Maybe there is and that collaborated the private autopsy.
Well he should not have been running away
Calling BS on what? The fact he was shot? The number of shots? That he was unarmed? That he was shot 7 times in the back? That his name was Stephon Clark?
Be specific in your obscene call.
Then let's see the county autopsy results.
There was but it hasn't been released.
The bullets missing him, doing a 180, and then hitting him in the back?
Lol. He was about to go to college! He loved puppies! He was turning his life around! He was a good boy! He was in the Boy Scouts! He helped stray kittens! And the elderly!
Feel free to add.
Well he should not have been running away

Exactly! While no one here is defending this murder, we need to redefine “suicide by cop”.
We all know that if you point a gun at a cop, you essentially are committing suicide by cop.
And more and more - thugs are ignoring the order to stop. And - armed or not - they are commonly getting shot for just running away. Yes, this is wrong. Just wrong.
But if it is the new normal - is it safe to sadly say that Clark here committed suicide by cop?
Just askin’.
Dunno, it’s only what I’ve heard. He may have spun when the first shot hit him, but that’s a guess. Waiting for more info.
Was this the young man's home? Why was he there?
They started shooting and he turned to run away. No difficult to comprehend.
When you’re caught breaking into cars . . that’s what you do.
It was his Grandmother’s house.
