Family friend labels police killing of Kaoss Price 'drastic'

From Morning Report, 7:13 am on 22 April 2022

A family friend of Kaoss Price, shot dead by police, says it's now clear they did not need to kill the unarmed young man.

The 22-year-old was shot on Saturday night on State Highway 3 while trying to hijack vehicles from members of the public, after first ramming a police car.

It was only late yesterday afternoon that the police revealed Price didn't have a gun.

A family friend says there was no justification for shooting him.
