B'Tselem's account
Al-Halak was on the autistic spectrum. He was shot in the upper torso by Border Police officers who claimed he was carrying a gun, after he ran away from one of them and entered a garbage room. B'Tselem's investigation found that the officers shot al-Halak as he lay on the ground, after a staff member from the institution he attended daily told them he was disabled and tried to dissuade them from shooting him.
