Family and friends of a man killed by police are asking for a better explanation of what led to the shooting and are organizing a peaceful march for Wednesday. Curtis Good, 41, died early Friday after being shot by a patrolman responding to a report that a man was "breaking up everything" at the apartment where he lived with his girlfriend, authorities said. The call for aid came at 1:32 a.m. from the woman's teenage son, the Middlesex County prosecutor's office said. Patrolman Carmen Fazzolari arrived two minutes later and went inside. Another officer arrived two minutes later and was speaking to the teen outside when shots were heard. Good was fired upon 8 times by police and hit 6 times. Authorities have said the shooting happened after the officer and Good had an encounter in the bedroom. No one else was in the apartment, the prosecutor's office said. "There are 10 different things that could have been done other than one police officer inside, pulling the trigger," Good's brother, Harry Bradford said. [more
