The parents of Christian Hall, a 19-year-old from Pennsylvania, are calling for an independent investigation into the fatal police shooting of their son.
The teenager was in the middle of a mental health emergency and was holding a gun when Pennsylvania State Police fatally shot him on December 30, 2020, authorities say.
Troopers responded to "a report of a distraught and suicidal male" standing on a bridge in Hamilton Township in Monroe County.
