Dover, September 26 (RHC)-- Another shocking video has emerged showing U.S. police officers fatally shooting a paralyzed Black man in wheelchair in the state of Delaware.

The incident that was caught on camera by a witnesses on Wednesday, shows four officers shoot dead 28-year-old Jeremy McDole, who was paralyzed from the waist down. The mobile footage shows one of the officers approaching the wheelchair-bound victim on a narrow street and shouting at him to put up his hands and drop a gun.

Shortly after, a gunshot can be heard and a person behind the camera is heard saying he was shot and bleeding. Several other officers then appear in the video, shouting for McDole to “show his hands.” Meanwhile, McDole who is struggling in his wheelchair, slumps over and falls to the ground, dead.

Police Chief Bobby Cummings, who claimed McDole was "still armed with a handgun," said during a news conference on Thursday that officers approached him and told him to put the weapon down. As McDole was removing the gun from his waist, officers "engaged him."

The victim’s mother Phyllis McDole, however, interrupted the briefing and said: “He was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down. There's video showing that he didn't pull a weapon.” No gun, other than those belonging to the officers, is visible in the video footage.
