Bell's Fiancé On Larry King: 'I'm Not Angry'

Sharpton Reiterates Stance, Wants Police Abuse To End

CBS 2's Coverage Of The Death Of Sean Bell

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― The girlfriend of an unarmed man who was killed when police sprayed 50 bullets at his car the day he was to marry her said Monday she's not angry.

"I'm really not angry," a subdued Nicole Paultre told CNN interviewer Larry King in her first extensive comments since fiance Sean Bell's killing Nov. 25. "I'm more just trying to be strong. We just want justice. I want justice. Me and my family, we want justice. That's it, and that's what we're praying for and hoping for."

Paultre, who wore a badge with a photo of her, Bell and their two young children on her lapel, spoke haltingly, often with one- or two-word answers.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil rights leader who has spoken for the Bell and Paultre families, appeared on "Larry King Live" with her and said the families wanted Bell's legacy to be the end of police abuse.

"These are solid people that just want to see fairness and that just want to hope Sean Bell's legacy is that this stops," Sharpton said. "Something has to break the cycle where those police that step out of bounds feel they can get away with it."

Five undercover policemen fired a total of 50 shots at Bell's car, which was carrying him and two friends, hitting it 21 times. Police have said they believed one of the men had a gun, but none was found.

Bell's two friends remain hospitalized.
