Lawyer: Autopsy shows Miriam Carey shot 5 times
attorney for the family of a Connecticut woman killed by police on Capitol Hill six months ago says her autopsy found she was shot multiple times from behind, including a shot to the back of the head.

Dockery, whose rap sheet includes a previous arrest for lighting a fire, started the inferno Sunday by torching a mattress in the 13th floor hallway of the NYCHA building where he lives, police sai
, president of the tenants association, said NYCHA bears some responsibility for the tragedy.
“If Housing did their job and take away the mattress, then nothing would have happened,” she said. “The building is not bad. This one incident happened with the little boy and he'll be punished.”
