By Shawn Nottingham, Nick Valencia and Devon M. Sayers | CNNThe family of 11-year-old Mississippi boy Aderrien Murry has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking $5 million after he was shot earlier this month by a police officer who responded to the child’s 911 call for help. The lawsuit, filed in US District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, seeks at least $5 million in damages, claiming excessive force, negligence, reckless endangerment, and civil assault and battery, among other counts. Her son was shot coming around the corner of a hallway, into the living room, she said. “Once he came from around the corner, he got shot,” Murry said. He had a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and a lacerated liver because of the shooting, his mother said.
