▶ Two deputies in Marksville, Louisiana, opened fire on an SUV and killed Jeremy Mardis, 6. MARKSVILLE, LA.—After a police body camera captured two deputy city marshals firing on a car and killing a 6-year-old boy, the head of the Louisiana State Police said the video was the most disturbing thing he’s seen. Prosecutors and defence attorneys previously described in writing how the footage depicts the shooting, which stops less than a minute into the video. Derrick Stafford, left, and Norris Greenhouse, Jr., are awaiting separate trials on second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder charges over the fatal shooting of a six-year-old boy in Louisiana. “Why would they do this?” Defence attorneys for Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr. argue the deputies acted in self-defence.
