TL;DR Summary

The attorney for Mississippi police officer Greg Capers, who was suspended for shooting 11-year-old Aderrien Murry, says the May 20 incident was unintentional. Capers has not spoken publicly about the incident, instead speaking to ABC News through his attorney. Following the incident, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation launched an investigation. Capers was initially suspended with pay, but on Monday the Indianola Board of Aldermen voted 4-1 to suspend the officer "without pay effective immediately." The Murry family filed both a federal civil lawsuit and a criminal complaint against the officer.
