Video shows LAPD drone peer into vehicle of man shot while holding fake gun

Video released Thursday by the LAPD shows police flying a drone to get a closer look at a man inside a van who had been shot by officers in Boyle Heights last month. Police said they shot the man after he ignored their commands to drop what appeared to be a rifle. The rifle, it turned out, was a battery-powered airsoft gun, which shoots plastic pellets. As the drone zoomed up to the white utility van, it captured a graphic image of Jeremy Flores, 26, slumped over the steering wheel, the fake gun lying on his lap. A SWAT team then approached and pulled Flores out of the vehicle.
