No Charges Filed Against Mississippi Police Officer in Shooting of 11-Year-Old

A grand jury in Mississippi has decided not to bring criminal charges against a police sergeant who shot an unarmed 11-year-old boy in his home. The shooting occurred after the boy's mother called the police for help. The incident left the boy with serious injuries, including a collapsed lung and fractured ribs. The decision not to press charges has sparked outrage, with the mother expressing her disappointment and concern for her son's well-being. The body camera footage of the incident has not been released to the public, and the mother is appealing the decision in a federal civil case. She is also seeking $5 million in a federal lawsuit against the officer, the city, and the police chief.
