Danziger Bridge Survivor Describes Being Shot by Police

Jose Holmes Jr. told the jury on Wednesday that after hearing gunshots, he laid down beside a concrete barrier on the Danziger Bridge. "I was kinda thinking if they saw us on the ground, they wouldn't shoot us," he said.

Holmes, who was shot in the arm, jaw and abdomen, testified that there was no provocation or warning from police before the shooting. He was questioned by defense attorneys about changes in his story over the years.
