JACKSON, Miss. — A Mississippi mom is demanding justice after she says her 11-year-old son was allegedly shot and injured by a police officer who responded to their home.
Nakala Murry said she was asleep when, around 4 a.m. Saturday, she heard a knock on her window and saw her daughter's father standing there.
"My child's father was still there -- he was like, 'Don't open the door.' I was telling him that I'm going to open the door," she recalled. "I opened the door. When I opened it, [an officer's] gun was up. He was telling me to come out," she said."I went out, I got out of the way. I walked out toward the end of my driveway where my mom was. And I heard a shot and I saw my son run out toward where we were."While lying on the ground, Murry said her son told her,"I don't wanna die.""He's in pain, but overall, he's doing well," Murry said.
The results of the investigation will be shared with the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office, the agency said.that police were told three times that there was no gun at the home: by Aderrien to a 911 dispatcher; by Aderrien's grandmother to a 911 dispatcher; and by Murry to the police who responded to her front door.
