Newsday, a local, subscription-only newspaper, has done an on-line story about the current status of the case.

Family of man shot by police wants details

An attorney for the family of a Selden man shot to death by Suffolk police last month said authorities have yet to answer the family’s request for details about what led to the shooting.

“The Callahan family is still suffering from grief and shock following Kevin’s death,” Rockville Centre attorney Joseph McCann wrote in a statement Thursday. “We have requested information from the District Attorney and the Police Department, but it has not been forthcoming. We hope that the investigation will be expedited, and the many questions surrounding Kevin’s death will be addressed.”

A call to the district attorney’s office was not returned. Suffolk police officials were not available for comment…

There are some big questions lingering: Did the man who was shot and killed even have a weapon on or near him? Were the police called to the house for a different person, or for something related to the man killed?

The community needs to understand more about this situation, and if it demonstrates the need for any change in police procedures.
