Fatal police shooting highlights inconsistent body cam usage

 In this Thursday night, July 28, 2016, file photo, a San Diego Harbor Police officer helps to secure the scene in San Diego near where two San Diego Police officers were shot Thursday night. The critical moment when a gunman opened fire on two San Diego police officers, killing one, wasn't captured on the camera one of the officers was wearing because he didn't turn it on until after bullets flew. It's the latest example of the hole created by policies like San Diego's that allow officers to determine when to start recording.
