The report also includes accounts from witnesses – none of whom heard officers issue a warning to Tamir before one of them opened fire outside a West Side recreation center. That contrasts with statements made by police that the officers ordered Tamir to "show your hands" three times before a shot was fired, Cleveland.com reports.
