CCTV video shows moment of ICE shooting in New York

New York City police released surveillance footage of federal immigration officers opening fire during an arrest on Thursday, and the Associated Press has posted it as a short clip. According to officials quoted in the description, ICE officers shot Oscar Belgal, a Dominican man, in the neck as he drove a car with a 5-year-old boy inside.

The footage is silent and carries no narration. It opens on an elevated view of a street corner with parked cars, passing traffic and people on the sidewalk. About 13 seconds in, two men scuffle beside a silver SUV parked at the curb, then move out of frame. A second camera then picks up the sidewalk outside C&C Gourmet Deli, where a sudden commotion sends nearby people scattering. In the final moments, bystanders step carefully around a parked black sedan as a crowd gathers by the storefront. The clip does not show who fired or from where.

AP usually draws modest first-day audiences for its Shorts, and this one passed 78,000 views in its first six hours, well beyond that routine. It came on a day when the channel's overall viewing was running below its usual pace, and when its report on new US sanctions against the International Criminal Court was its next most watched upload.

Comments arrived quickly, and most of them argue over what the silent footage does and does not show.
