Buffalo, N.Y. — New York Attorney General Letitia James released body camera video showing the incident in which a man was fatally shot by a trooper in Downtown Buffalo. 38-year-old James Huber of North East, Pennsylvania was shot and killed by New York State police trooper Anthony Nigro in the area of East Eagle and Washington Streets on February 12. According to New York State Police, at 10:38 a.m., on February 12, troopers were contacted about an erratic driver on the New York State Thruway (I-90). State police say the vehicle was spotted traveling at an excess of 100 mph in the Town of Brant. Eventually, according to police, Huber drove into the City of Buffalo and troopers stopped their pursuit.
State Police then found him pulled over on East Eagle Street near Washington Street talking to bystanders. The body cam video shows Nigro getting out of his patrol car, drawing his gun and ordering Huber to get out. Huber, who remained seated in the vehicle, was seen turning his face away from Nigro, who yells, “Get out! Get out!†Huber replies, “Go away,†and refuses to get out as he reaches for something inside the vehicle. Trooper Nigro continues to tell Huber to get out and pulls on him, but Huber refuses. It appears Huber’s car door is locked. Huber then goes in reverse, and Trooper Nigro fires and falls to the ground. You can then hear Huber crash on a parking ramp. Trooper Nigro gets back up, runs to the scene and reports shots fired.

So he says No†turns away, then you shoot him… ruff traffic laws in Buffalo
Senseless death…officer
😕 Well that ended well 0:19
Cop should go to Jail for shooting someone for running away. He knew his
life was not in danger but pulled the trigger anyway. We see plenty
examples of justified cop shootings. This was not one of them.
White men think they are privileged and don't have to obey the police….this cop was cool and smooth , all business…
One less perp on the streets …thank the Blue
Glock, never fails!
Womp,womp
Dang he booked it in reverse to the afterlife.
This better not just be for tax money
He deserved everything for his ignorance
The "Exit Only" sign was right in more ways than one.
SAY IT WITH ME
“Fuck around and find outâ€
Officer, you're a real cop now. A killercop.
His gun is jammed.
I don't know about you guys but it's like Christmas when the police shoot the cockiness out of a suspect.
GRIM
"Go away"
Like a cop who is doing his job is gonna go away.
Is that blood on the ground underneath the vehicle?!
Looks like he shot himself after it too?
Good Shot Trooper!
Your calm professionalism
was an example to other
LEOS in making quick, calculated decisions.
Your actions helped him crash after he almost ran over you – preventing injury or death to other drivers.
He could have started his road rage again against other drivers if you had not taken proper action – before backup arrived.
G*d bless you and all LEOs as you keep us safe.
Kudos from at least one appreciative citizen.
Did dispatch way, “Washington and nowhere?†around 50 seconds after he told them “shot fired�
Unjustified.
BLUE LIVES MATTER!!
How do we know he was fatally shot?
He may have survived but was killed by the crash.
Buffalo Erie County still don't take shit. Good. Go home to your families.
I see a lot of jokes in the comments, but nobody questions why he fired. Can someone give me the specific reason he fired? Did he think the driver was reaching for a weapon? That wasn't made clear. If that were the case, I think any reasonable person would have done the same. It's just a shitty situation when no firearm is recovered.
Cop: get out !!! Guy: no your not the boss of me.
Transparency keeps people calmed. The video shows the facts. Period.
The liability is gone and society is a bit safer now.
Shot this man for no good reason and endangered the public. Him not complying doesn't give the right to execute
Interesting how he shot a guy who was driving away from him, then threw himself down in the opposite direction. It almost looks like a morally justified shooting on the body camera.
Internal affairs needs to get involved in this one. Looks like an unjustified shooting. More like a murder to me.
Pistol looked like it wasnt in battery.
Exit only
Good shoot.
No one gives first aid to the injured suspect? It is not the first thing that the police should do after a shooting ?, but I think they are prosecuted if they leave the victim abandoned to their fate.
The guy wasn't endangering the officer and was shot. Bullshit.
This cop sucks
“Go away†that ain’t gonna happen honey
"oh man i shot a white guy"
