(Anchorage, AK) On the heels of conspiracy theories, the Anchorage Police Department releases audio recordings of the 911 call in the Harry Smith case made by his son, along with a copy of the dispatch log.

Officials deemed the July 1st fatal shooting of the 59-year-old justifiable, because officers allegedly acted under the belief they were protecting themselves and others.

Some say not enough questions were answered, but from the audio and logs it appears there is enough to create confusion on both sides. Here's just a part of those recordings, take a listen.
