COLUMBIA, South Carolina — A man's family is speaking out after he was shot and killed by a law enforcement officer in Columbia, South Carolina.
Irvin D. Moorer Charley, 34, whose family said he had various mental illnesses, was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy after police responded to a domestic violence call.
"I tried to tell them that I've been dealing with him for a long time, and I probably could have gotten him to stop," Craig said."They said 'Get back.' I begged them. I begged them not to do that to him. I couldn't do any more, and I dropped to the ground, but my son didn't deserve this. He did not deserve this."
"It did not stick in the skin, and so it did not stop him as you would expect,” Rutherford told reporters at a press conference Sunday.
