News coming out of South Carolina from WYFF:
A North Charleston police officer charged with murder in the shooting death of 50-year-old Walter Scott has been fired from the department, according to North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey.
The parents of a Walter Scott, who was fatally shot while fleeing a police officer, call the shooting horrible, with his father saying it looked as if the officer was trying to “kill a deer running through the woods.
Summey and Police Chief Eddie Driggers held a news conference Wednesday to discuss the latest in the shooting investigation.
North Charleston Patrolman First Class Michael Slager, 33, was charged Tuesday with murder in connection with the Saturday morning shooting death of Scott.
The murder charge against Slager came after video surfaced of the shooting.
The video was sent to Scott’s family and the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, Summey said.
Police said the video shows Slager shooting Scott as he ran away from the scene. The video appears to show Scott running away from Slager, then Slager firing multiple rounds at Scott.
