cherise: shelley, love font -- lafont was laid to rest today. and while his mother says they want answers, tonight was not about that. tonight was about honoring his life with car racing. the roar of engines followed by a moment of silence. corey lafont's tell-tale blue mini cooper part of a parade of race cars that paused friday night to honor him. his mom behind the wheel. >> it's very overwhelming to see what everybody here has the track owners, all the racecar drivers and their families and crews. cherise: lafont's friday nights were spent here at the twin state speedway, the first friday since he's been gone. >> this is where his heart is, right here. it hurts, but it's what he would want. cherise: family and friends were decked out in the number 24,

still in shock. on the same day he was laid to rest, the attorney general's office released the name of the officer who shot lafont in the chest three times following some sort of altercation. as part of protocol, corporal ian kibbe has been taken out of line duty while the ag's office investigates. the two and a half year veteran of the claremont police department was the only officer on the scene when the shots were fired. while loved ones hope for more answers soon, friday night was all about the way lafont lived. >> it's a wonderful tribute to >> it's a wonderful tribute to cody and how much he meant night. cherise: here in claremont, there are no police body cam's or dashcams, so none of that was caught on video. lafont's mother says she is eager for answers involving what happened. shelley: new tonight, police in california have just released videos of the deadly police shooting of an unarmed black man. the videos shows the moments

olango, after he took what police described as a shooting stance and pointed what officers thought was a weapon, which actually turned out to be a smoking device. the videos were released after three nights of violent protests. according to a report released today by the attorney general's office, not only did former state representative kyle tasker use marijuana at the state house, but it says he also sold it to fellow lawmakers. wmur's mike cronin joins us live to explain the allegations made in that report. mike: not guilty to several felony charges. this report says no further criminal charges will be brought against tasker, and no charges will be made against the lawmakers named. five elected leaders are named in the attorney general's report, but it says none will face charges, because the evidence is insufficient to prosecute them. in march, kyle tasker was arrested for online solicitation of a minor and possession with intent to distribute controlled drugs. wmur first reported that

showed he had sold drugs to other members of the house. >> i'm just really, really concerned about it. i think it is deeply concerning that any elected official would engage in this kind of behavior, and i think the voters should hold them accountable. the attorney general's office says pamela tucker of greenland, the former deputy speaker of the house, bought marijuana once and marijuana elixir on another occasion. the report says she told investigators they were for medicinal reasons. ph tasker several times to treat his ptsd, and brought friends to do the same. the report says amanda bouldin, also of manchester, used pot with tasker in his car, and recalled a conversation about a big drug purchase he made in lancaster. investigators say sanbornville representative ted wright bought marijuana to help his wife's

and plaistow representative shem kellogg was named, but he died of cancer in june and was never interviewed. the house speaker and governor are confident voters will have their say in november. >> all elected officials in new hampshire take an oath of office, and this is a very serious transgression, and i'm very deeply concerned about it, and i hope the voters will take this very seriously. mike: the lawyer for state representative amanda bouldin says, in part, amanda did not buy drugs from tasker. in fact, she never even inquired ou not once. the other lawmakers did not respond to our requests for comment. medical marijuana is now legal in new hampshire, as long as it's obtained through a dispensary. shelley: mike, thanks very much. turning our attention to weather. it's raining out there. a live look in windham, where it has been raining steadily. 52 degrees. meteorologist hayley lapoint is here now to let us know if the rain is sticking around.
