   In October, Gulfport Police Chief Adam Cooper claimed that "McMillan turned both his body and his weapon toward the officer" before the officer shot at him.

   But the video shows that only five seconds pass from the time the officer arrives and shoots McMillan—who appears to be running away—8 times.

   The officer yells "Stop! Drop it!" and immediately begins firing.

     NEW: New footage shows that Jaheim McMillan, a Black 15-year-old, was running away when a Gulfport Police Officer fired 8 shots at him at a Family Dollar, killing him.

     The state released the footage as a grand jury declined to indict the officer.

     Police say he had a gun and was turning toward the officer. In the video, he appears to be running away from the officer.
