Henry said the department hasn't yet determined a motive or what events led to the shooting.

Joshi got emotional during the news conference.

"Our officers are hurt, they're professionals but they're also human beings," Joshi said. "They are doing the best they can but they're going to stay focused on making sure this family sees the justice they deserve."
