Georgia authorities arrested a white father and son Thursday and charged them with murder in the February shooting death of a black man they had pursued in a truck after spotting him running in their neighbourhood. National outrage over the case swelled this week after a cellphone video emerged that appeared to show the shooting. Gregory McMichael told police after the February shooting that he and his son chased after Arbery because they suspected him of being a burglar. Gregory McMichael told police he suspected the runner was the same man filmed by a security camera committing a break-in. The video shows a black man running at a jogging pace on the left side of a road.
