Trial in shooting opens for 2 Pa. troopers

PITTSBURGH — Two Pennsylvania state police troopers were responding to a report of a stolen car on Christmas Eve 2002 when 12-year-old Michael Ellerbe was fatally shot.

Attorneys for the teen and the troopers agree that Trooper Samuel Nassan shot the unarmed boy in the back as he fled from a Ford Bronco. But they agree on little else.
