Ex-Officers Plead Guilty in Death of 8-year-old Killed During Football Game

Three fired police officers who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in the death of an 8-year-old girl killed when they opened fire outside a high school football game near Philadelphia are set to be sentenced Friday.
Officers fired 25 shots at a car they mistakenly thought was involved in gunfire, killing Fanta Bility and injuring three others.
Officers pleaded guilty to 10 counts each of reckless endangerment, with a maximum term of up to two years in prison in Pennsylvania.
The handling of the case prompted outrage and protests from the Black community and others as District Attorney initially charged two Black teens who engaged in gunfire a block away with the child's death.
The Bility family has a federal lawsuit pending against the defendants and the Sharon Hill police department.
