(中央社南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿7日综合外电报导)美国地方当局表示,南卡罗来纳州1名白人员警枪杀1名试图逃离、但手无寸铁的黑人男子后,面临谋杀罪名指控。美国联邦调查局(FBI)与司法部也宣布展开调查。

员警史雷格(Michael Slager)4日枪杀50岁男子史考特(Walter Scott)的过程遭人拍下。北查尔斯顿(North Charleston)市长苏莫(Keith Summey)今天在记者会上表示,州立检调人员检视影片后决定以谋杀罪指控史雷格。

当地媒体报导,史考特座车尾灯故障,因此遭警方到拦下。

「纽约时报」(NYT)和美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)公布1支看似是路人拍摄的现场影片,影片显示,史雷格和史考特先发生短暂扭打,接着史考特试图逃跑。

史雷格随后开了好几枪,史考特跌趴在地。而当史考特逃跑时,身上看起来没有武器。

Video Shows Officer Michael Slager Shooting Unarmed Black Man In The Back In South Carolina

A white South Carolina police officer was arrested and charged with murder Tuesday after video showed him fatally shooting a fleeing, unarmed black man in the back.

North Charleston Police Officer Michael T. Slager, 33, can be seen shooting 50-year-old Walter Scott after a confrontation on Saturday, according to The Post and Courier. Slager chases Scott and shoots at him eight times in the video recorded by a passerby and obtained by The New York Times.

Scott died there, though it wasn't clear if he died immediately.

The graphic video raises questions about Slager's original assertion that he used his gun because he felt endangered.

The confrontation started when Slager had reportedly pulled over Scott because of a broken taillight. It escalated into a foot chase as Scott allegedly fled because there were family court-issued warrants for his arrest. Slager pursued Scott into a grassy lot and claimed that he fired his Taser to subdue him.

Moments later, Slager reported on his radio, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser,” according to the Times.

Earlier this week, an attorney for Slager said the cop felt threatened after Scott tried to overpower him and take his Taser. Today that attorney told The Post and Courier that he's "no longer involved" in the case.

But first images in the video are of Slager shooting at Scott as he runs away from him. It also appears that Slager drops the Taser near Scott after he was gunned down, according to The New York Times.

Police reports also say that responding officers performed CPR and delivered medical aid to Scott, but the video shows Scott face down in handcuffs for several minutes after the shooting. Another officer shows up and appears to give Scott aid, but never performs CPR.

The Post and Courier reports:

    Police Chief Eddie Driggers said Tuesday that Slager had been arrested.

    The U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement that FBI investigators would work with the State Law Enforcement Division, which typically investigates officer-involved shootings in South Carolina, and the state’s attorney general to investigate any civil rights violations in Scott’s death. Mayor Keith Summey added during a news conference that as a result of the video and Slager’s “bad decision,” the officer would be charged with murder.

Scott had been arrested about 10 times in the past, mostly for failing to pay child support or show up for hearings, according to the paper.

"He has four children, he doesn’t have some type of big violent past or arrest record. He had a job, he was engaged," a lawyer for Scott's family told the Times. "He had back child support and didn’t want to go to jail for back child support."

In a statement released Tuesday night, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) said, "What happened in this case is not acceptable in South Carolina." Senator Tim Scott (R) said "The senseless shooting and taking of Walter Scott's life was absolutely unnecessary and avoidable," adding that he would be watching the case closely.
