'I cannot grasp why,” Aderrien’s mother, Nakala Murry, told CNN, adding that her son “kept asking, ‘Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?’”
Eleven-year-old Aderrien Murry was shot by a police officer in Mississippi on Saturday after calling 911 for help,. Carlos Moore, an attorney for the boy’s family, told NBC that police were responding to a domestic-violence call at the family’s home on Saturday morning. During a confrontation between Aderrien’s mother, Nakala Murry, and the father of another of her children, Moore says she handed her phone to Aderrien and asked him to call the police for help.
When police arrived, Moore said, they were told that the man had run out the back door and was unarmed. Murrythat an officer asked everyone in the home to step outside with their arms up, but when Aderrien rounded the corner into the living room, he was shot. “I cannot grasp why,” Murry told CNN, adding that her son “kept asking, ‘Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?’” she said.
Aderrien was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, where he was put on a ventilator. He suffered a collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and a lacerated liver because of the shooting, Moore said. He was released on Wednesday and is now recovering at home. A growing number of people have joined the Murry family in calling for the officer, whose name has not been released to the public, to be fired. Indianola mayor Ken FeatherstoneCNN reports that the shooting was captured on body-camera footage, but the footage — and the officer’s name — has not been released. Moore told NBC that the family will be filing a civil-rights lawsuit.
