A police officer in Senatobia, Mississippi, has resigned after shooting and killing a one-year-old child, the local mayor told The Associated Press.

The New York Post reported that Sergeant Hunter Foster fired into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call. The officer had been cleared of criminal wrongdoing earlier in the week after a months-long investigation by the Mississippi Attorney General's office concluded that his use of force was justified.

The state released video footage of the incident on Thursday, including body-worn camera footage from Sergeant Foster, according to the New York Post, AP News, Al Jazeera, NBC News, and WION. [1][2][3][5][6]
