An inquest heard the 911 call played the day Michael Eligon was killed.

The eyewitness who says he saw police shoot and kill Michael Eligon last February testified at an inquest today into the 29-year-old man's death.

Barrie White told CBC's Stephanie Matteis that Eligon was "walking zombie-like towards a line of police," but that he didn't seem threatening at the time. Eligon was shot while holding a pair of scissors. He was one of among three mentally ill people shot dead and now at the centre of a police inquest.
