An 11-year-old Mississippi boy who was shot by a police officer after he called 911 for help is recovering after being released from the hospital, according to his family.
The family is calling for the officer to be fired and charged with the shooting.
Aderrien Murry was shot in the chest by an Indianola Police Department officer early Saturday morning while the officer was responding to a domestic disturbance call at the childs home, according to his mother, Nakala Murry, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.
Murry told CNN that the father of another of her children arrived at her home at 4 a.m., irate.
Concerned about her safety, Murry asked Aderrien to call the police.
Murry said the officer who arrived at the home had his gun drawn at the front door and asked those inside the home to come outside. Murry said her son was shot coming around the corner of a hallway, into the living room.
Once he came from around the corner, he got shot, Murry said. I cannot grasp why. The same cop that told him to come out of the house. (Aderrien) did, and he got shot. He kept asking, Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong? she said.
