Cop Arrested for Murder After Video Shows Him Shoot Unarmed Man in Back
A white police officer in North Charleston arrested after video contradicts his version of events the ended with death of Walter Scott, a 50-year-old black man
A white police officer in South Carolina was placed under arrest and charged with murder on Tuesday for the shooting death of an unarmed black man after video surfaced of the shooting which showed the victim being shot in the back multiple times as he attempted to flee the scene of an altercation.
In the just over 3-minute video, Walter L. Scott, described by media outlets as a 50-year-old Navy veteran and father, can be clearly seen running away, with his back turned, as he was shot multiple times by Officer Michael T. Slagger.
Estimates based on the video conclude that as many as eight shots were fired, though the local coroner has not yet stated how many times Scott may have been struck. Initially pulled over for having a broken tail light on his car, Scott died from his wounds at the scene.
As the North Charleston Post and Courier, which first obtained the footage, reports:
The video footage, which The Post and Courier obtained Tuesday from a source who asked to remain anonymous, shows the end of the confrontation between the two on Saturday after Scott ran from a traffic stop. It was the first piece of evidence contradicting an account Slager gave earlier this week through his attorney.
