WILKES-BARRE &mdash; The New Jersey Attorney General&rsquo;s office has released body-worn camera footage related to the shooting of a Wilkes-Barre Man in Ventnor, New Jersey last month.
				Amir Johnson, 30, was shot and killed by officers responding to reports of a man behaving erratically on Aug. 6.
				Officers from the Ventnor Police Department and the Atlantic City Police Department encountered a man, later identified as Johnson, walking in and out of a marshy area along the roadway.
				According to a release issued by the New Jersey Attorney General&rsquo;s office on Friday, the officers involved attempted to engage Johnson, who was holding a broken glass bottle in his hand.
				Around 4:30 p.m., Johnson advanced on officers with the bottle in his hand, causing multiple officers to draw their weapons and fire, fatally wounding Johnson.
				Johnson was rushed to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead around 6 p.m.
				Three body cam videos were released to the public, one for each of the three officers involved in the shooting. The release also included the 911 call that the officers were responding to.
				No further information is being released at this time while the investigation is still pending. Investigators met with relatives of Johnson&rsquo;s on Friday to review the footage.
				Under New Jersey state law, once the investigation is complete the case will be brought before a grand jury to determine whether or not criminal charges will be filed against the officers.
