The mother of a 12-year-old boy fatally shot by a Cleveland police officer is preparing to make her first comments about the incident.
Surveillance video released by police shows Tamir Rice being shot within 2 seconds of a patrol car stopping within a few feet of him at a park on Nov. 22.
Rice's mother, Samaria Rice, was scheduled to speak Monday in Cleveland.
Her comments will follow the family's filing of a wrongful death lawsuit Friday, alleging two officers acted recklessly when they confronted the boy in a terrifying manner and fired within seconds.
On Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department released findings from a nearly two-year investigation of Cleveland police, which found its officers use excessive and unnecessary force far too often.
