NEW YORK CITY – New York Gov. David Paterson is scheduled to meet privately with the Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of fatal police shooting victim Sean Bell.
Paterson will meet with Sharpton and Bell’s relatives Thursday afternoon in New York City – a day after protests took place around the city.
The governor expressed surprise at last month’s acquittal of three New York Police Department officers in the November 2006 shooting of Bell.
Paterson says he was surprised because of the number of shots fired.
The officers fired 50 times at Bell and two of his friends as they sat in a car on the day Bell was to be married.
