Too late to edit original post, again. So, here's the story:

From Katy Byron
CNN

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Two detectives from the New York City Police Department have been indicted on manslaughter charges in the shooting death of an unarmed black man on his wedding day, the Queens District Attorney said on Monday.

A third officer has been indicted for reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, District Attorney Richard Brown said.

All three officers surrendered to internal affairs investigators Monday morning and are expected to be arraigned this afternoon, Brown said. (Watch how the grand jury found shots were intentionally fired )

Detective Michael Oliver, who allegedly fired 31 shots and reloaded, is to be charged with manslaughter and assault, Brown said. Detective Gescard Isnora, who allegedly fired 11 times, faces the same charges, which carry a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
