CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac presented the department's findings Thursday in the investigation of a fatal officer-involved shooting Wednesday.

Three officers fired nine times at Paul Gaston, who they said ignored their commands and reached for a realistic-looking firearm that turned out to be an Airsoft pistol.

A witness captured the incident on a cellphone camera. Isaac played the footage for reporters during a press conference Wednesday morning.
