threat to them. video of the shooting has just been released. omar villafranca has details. >> reporter: the dash cam video from july of this year shows a fort worth police officer and a sheriff deputy responding to a robbery call. the two off-duty, uniformed officers approached david callie in an apartment parking lot. one pulls out a flashlight, the other his gun. there's no audio on the footage, but police say they told call tow stop and show his hands. a few seconds later, the officer fired twice, leaving callie crumpled on the ground. nate washington is callie's attorney. >> i see an attempted murder. i see an aggravated assault way deadly weapon. >> reporter: investigators say the officer shot callie after he spotted a silver object in his hand and thought it was a gun. it turned out to be a box cutter. callie spent weeks in the hospital and since he was charged with assault, he was cuffed to a bed. the 33-year-old can't move his legs. >> he couldn't move anything
6:37 pm
other than his arms. but they have him chained to the bed. >> reporter: this is the second video that has angered some members of the community. last week, a video was released showing a woman arrested by a fort worth police officer after she called police to report her son had been choked by a neighbor. washington says he release reles tape to show these are not isolated incidents. >> i'm not saying that these officers were racist, that racial bias caused the officer to believe that perhaps he should be afraid of mr. callie. >> reporter: callie was never accused in the robbery, and the assault charge was later dropped. as for the officer who shot callie, he was put on paid administrative leave in july, but, elaine, fort worth police tell us he is now back on duty. >> quijano: omar villafranca. omar, thank you. the man convicted in a church massacre in charleston, south carolina, told a judge he doesn't plan to call witnesses or present evidence for when the

6:39 pm
that it might have picked up some sound that can either prove it's a murder or at least give some kind of evidence. >evidence. >> quijano: so amazon said in a statement they will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand. why do you think amazon hasn't cooperated yet? >> reporter: what's interesting about this, it doesn't have a hard drive, so police can't access the information on their own. they have to go to amazon. you know, if amazon just handed over that information, who's going to buy it? this was a big seller this year. and so, in this case, amazon, they're not saying they're not going to turn over any information, but right now, they're saying it's just too overbroad. >> quijano: so this wasn't the only device in the suspect's home. this was a-- quote, unquote-- a smart home. as technology becomes more integrated with our lives, what is happening to our right to privacy? >> reporter: well, and in this case, the defend may have more problem, not so much with the echo, but with his smart water meter. the prosecution is saying that he used an abnormal amount of water, early-morning hour, to clean up. he's saying the clock on his
6:40 pm
smart water meter was off, and he actually filled a hot tub the night before. so that's a real problem. >> quijano: the technology could in fact be wrong. >> reporter: it could be wrong, and it could be used against you in court because you've brought this in your home. you've probably lost your expectation of privacy when you bring something like this in the house. >> quijano: erin moriarty, thank you so much. the winter storm that buried the upper midwest has put bis mark, north dakota otrack to beat its seasonal snowfall record of just over 51 inches. 43.5 inches have already fallen, with most of the winter ahead. northern new england is about to get its first big snowfall, starting late tomorrow. more than a foot is expected in parts of maine and new hampshire. the late carrie fisher did not have a star on hollywood's walk of fame, so fans took over a blank one and pasted on letters spelling her name and the phrase, "may the force be with you always." fisher, who died yesterday, is

6:47 pm
missed, partly because doctors don't know about c.h.s., and partly because patients don't want to admit to using a substance that's illegal. c.h.s. can lead to dehydration and kidney failure, but usually resolves within days of stopping drug use. that's what happened with with crowder, who's been off all forms of marijuana for seven months. >> now, all kinds of ambition has come back. i desire so much more in life, and at 37 years old, it's a little late to do it, but better now than never. >> reporter: c.h.s. has only been recognized for about the past decade. and nobody knows exactly how many people suffer from it. but as more states move toward legalization of marijuana, emergency room physicians like dr. heard are eager to make sure both doctors and patients have c.h.s. on their radar. >> quijano: dr. jon lapook. jon, thank you. overnight, a series of earthquakes rocked california and nevada. the strongest of the quakes southeast of lake tahoe measured
