Man recounts first moments of US deadly police shooting

– Chilling video –

The South Carolina shooting occurred Saturday following a traffic stop for a broken tail light. After initial police reports claimed Scott had taken Slager’s stun gun, Santana’s video was released to The New York Times and published Tuesday.

The video shows wires from the stun gun extending from Scott’s body, implying that the victim rather than the police officer had been hit as the two men scuffled.

As Scott, who was heavy-set, tries to flee, Slager draws his handgun and shoots eight times toward his back.

Slager appears to pick up a device that had fallen during the altercation and drop it by Scott’s body.

Scott was hit by five bullets, said family lawyer Chris Stewart, quoting the coroner who examined Scott’s body, according to the Times.
