Footage From "Accidental" Eric Courtney Harris Shooting Surfaces

Footage from the deadly shooting of Eric Courtney Harris has surfaced, providing a better picture of the deputy-involved incident that happened earlier this month in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office released the video on Saturday and in it, Harris – who at the time was accused of owning illegal weapons – is seen being chased and shot by authorities.

CNN reports:

The reserve deputy thought he had his Taser in hand, not his firearm, and shot Harris “inadvertently,” according to the sheriff’s office.

In the last minutes of the video, Harris, a convicted felon, lies on the pavement with police on top of him. An officer calls for a Taser. But in place of an electric clicking sound, a gunshot rings out.
