Former Ohio officer who fatally shot Andre Hill testifies he mistook keys for a gun: "I was horrified"

A white former Ohio police officer charged with murder in the shooting of Andre Hill testified Monday that he fired four times after he spotted what he thought was a silver revolver in the Black man's hand while Hill was emerging from a dark garage.

Former Columbus officer Adam Coy said he rolled over Hill's body, saw a pile of keys and realized there was no gun.

"I knew at that point I made a mistake," Coy told jurors while fighting back tears. "I was horrified. It was the worst night of my life."
