Mississippi family demands officer be charged for shooting 11-year-old

Aderrien Murry called police after his mother was threatened by a man, and an office shot him in the chest, seriously wounding him

A Mississippi family has demanded a police officer be dismissed and charged with aggravated assault for shooting an 11-year-old boy when police responded to the child’s own domestic disturbance call at his home.

Aderrien Murry, who called police at the request of his mother, was unarmed and following instructions from Indianola officer Greg Capers when Capers shot him in the chest early last Saturday morning, seriously wounding him, family attorney Carlos Moore said.
