Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old Cleveland boy who was shot and killed by a police officer, released a statement after a grand jury didn’t indict two officers involved in the case.
Rice was shot to death by officer Tim Loehmann on the playground after he and another officer, Frank Garmback, saw him with a toy gun.
An Ohio grand jury found that Loehmann and Garmback will not face criminal charges.

In this Nov. 25, 2014 file photo, Cleveland police watch demonstrators block Public Square while protesting against the shooting of 12-year-old boy Tamir Rice, who was fatally shot by a police officer in Cleveland. The revelation that Cleveland police officials didn't review the checkered history of a police officer who fatally shot a 12-year-old boy highlights what some describe as an unnerving truth about policing -- there's no universal standard for how deeply a department should dig into its recruits' pasts.
