Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] The family of a 26-year-old man shot in the back while handcuffed by a Prince George's County police officer is speaking out. "This is terrible," says Kalvin Kyle's great-grandmother Barbara Lightfoot. "Why would they shoot him in his back while he's handcuffed?"

The shooting happened at the intersection of County Road and Foster Street. Police say Kyle tried to escape after stealing a motorcycle. Lightfoot doesn't buy that. "They said he was running from them," says Lightfoot. "I said, ‘How far could he get with his hands tied behind him?"'

Kyle's sister, Shalonya Kyle, says that was unlikely, "He has rods in his legs," Shalonya Kyle says. "If there was a race between him and me, he would not win. He can't run far."

Sgt. Johnnie Riley, an eight-year department veteran, is on leave while investigators look into the shooting. Even if he was a track star - is that PG County Police murder policy - shooting n**** in the back?
