A prosecutor who implied in court that 13-year-old Adam Toledo was holding a gun the instant he was fatally shot by a Chicago police officer was placed on leave a day after a video showing the boy's hands were empty was released to the public.

"In court last week, an attorney in our office failed to fully present the facts surrounding the death of a 13-year-old boy," Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx spokeswoman Sarah Sinovic said in a statement. "We have put that individual on leave and are conducting an internal investigation into the matter."

"The officer tells to drop it as turns towards the officer. has a gun in his right hand," Murphy said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "The officer fires one shot at , striking him in the chest. The gun that was holding landed against the fence a few feet away." According to the Chicago Tribune, Foxx told staffers in an email that the language in the proffer that Murphy read in court "did not fully reflect all the evidence that had been given to our office."

On Saturday, Sinovic in an email said the office would not comment on the question of who else in the office viewed the video footage before the April 10 hearing or respond to any other questions.

Paid leave?

Question is Did he have a gun? Time we knew the TRUTH!
