Black Man Shot by Charlottesville Police still in critical condition

Kerry Von Reese Cook was shot once in the abdomen Saturday after a struggle with police at an apartment on Garrett Street. Although a hospital spokeswoman said Cook still was in critical condition, his mother, Patricia, said doctors had taken him off a breathing apparatus. [more ]
