An 11-year-old Mississippi boy who was shot by a police officer after he called 911 for help is recovering after being released from the hospital, according to his family. The family is calling for the officer to be fired and charged with the shooting.
Aderrien Murry was shot in the chest by an Indianola Police Department officer early Saturday morning while the officer was responding to a domestic disturbance call at the child’s home, according to his mother, Nakala Murry, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.Concerned about her safety, Murry asked Aderrien to call the police.
The shooting happened within what felt like “one to two minutes” after the officer asked those in the house to come outside, Murry said. The attorney said his request for the body camera footage was denied due to “an ongoing investigation.”Moore also said he was told there is video of the incident from a nearby gas station.
On Wednesday, MBI spokesperson Bailey Martin declined to answer additional questions, telling CNN in an email, “Due to this being an open and ongoing investigation, no further comment will be made.”
