A Black 11-year-old called 911. Police arrived and shot him, his mom says.
An unarmed 11-year-old Black boy in Mississippi was shot by a police officer after he called 911 to report a domestic disturbance to try to protect his mother, his family's attorney said. The family of Aderrien Murry and the community in Indianola, Miss. , are calling for the officer who shot him early Saturday morning to be fired. Aderrien was released from the hospital Wednesday after being placed on a ventilator and chest tube for a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and lacerated liver, Carlos Moore, the attorney representing the family, told The Washington Post.
The boy was given a cellphone by his mother and told to call the police during a domestic disturbance involving the father of another one of her children, Moore said. After the child called 911, an Indianola police officer who was identified by the attorney as Greg Capers "had his gun blazing" upon arrival at the home at around 4 a. m., Moore said.
When Nakala Murry, the boy's mother, told the officer that no one in the house was armed, the officer yelled out that anyone in the home should come out with their hands up, Moore said. Even though Aderrien adhered to the officer's commands and had his hands up, Capers shot him in the chest, according to the family and Moore. "His words were: 'Why did he shoot me? What did I do?' and he started crying," the boy's mother said at a news conference this week.

精听党文化拓展
根据“枪支暴力档案”网站5月26日公布的数据，2023年至今，美国已发生242起造成至少4人伤亡的大规模枪击事件，有超过1.7万人因各类涉枪事件死亡。
美国大规模枪击事件频发，枪支暴力泛滥，不仅给民众的生命安全造成威胁，也带来了难以愈合的心理创伤。据美国有限电视新闻网报道，随着美国枪支暴力达到创世纪的水平，越来越多的社区受到大规模枪击事件的影响，美国枪支暴力也给更多人造成了心理健康方面的负面影响。
《美国新闻与世界报道》报道称，根据哈佛大学政治学院的一项综合性调查，在18岁至29岁的美国人中，40%的人担心自己会成为枪支暴力或大规模枪击事件的受害者，约三分之一的人担心自己身边的人会成为该类事件的受害者。枪患顽疾难除、心理创伤不断积累、“群体焦虑”广泛蔓延，枪支暴力阴霾正吞噬着整个美国社会。
