Cop who murdered NC man shot him 10 times (fired gun 12 times)...
http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/16/justice/police-shootings/index.html?hpt=hp_t2Cop fired 12 shots, hit unarmed man 10 times, Charlotte police say
By Ed Payne and Josh Levs, CNN
(CNN) -- Jonathan Ferrell, a 24-year-old North Carolina man, suffered a severe late-night car crash. His car slipped into a ravine. He had to kick his way out the back windshield.
He managed to get out of the car and go to a nearby home, where he knocked on the door repeatedly for help.
When police arrived, he approached them -- and one shot him repeatedly, killing him on the spot.
Now the officer is charged with manslaughter. Police say he had no cause to shoot Ferrell.
Monday afternoon, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a news release that its investigation determined the officer "fired his weapon 12 times and struck Mr. Ferrell 10 times resulting in his death."
The incident over the weekend has sparked outrage.
