Witnesses: Brown put his hands up

 

(CNN) — Two men, shocked at what they saw, describe an unarmed teenager with his hands up in the air as he’s gunned down by a police officer.

An exclusive cell phone video captures their reactions during the moments just after the shooting.

A young black man was killed this weekend. He was shot multiple times by police while walking to his grandmother’s house.
