Investigation opened after Seattle officer heard joking about pedestrian's death | ABC News
A Seattle police accountability office is investigating after an officer was recorded on his body camera joking about the death of a 23-year-old woman who was fatally struck by another officer who was responding to a call. Graduate student Jaahnavi Kandula was in a crosswalk the night of Jan. 23 when an officer driving 74 mph struck her with his patrol SUV, authorities say. Police say that officer was responding to an emergency call. In newly released body camera footage, another officer who was responding to the scene of the fatal collision can be heard discussing the incident, while laughing, on the phone in his cruiser. The Seattle Police Department released the footage this week. #news #police #bodycamera #abcnews SUBSCRIBE to ABC News on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2vZb6yP Latest updates: https://abcnews.go.com/ Watch FULL EPISODES on Hulu: http://abcn.ws/3bzvQQn
