WHAT'S HAPPENING
Donald Triplett worked at a bank in the small Mississippi city of Forest.
An attorney for the Indianola police officer called the shooting of Aderrien Murry "a total freak accident ... not reckless at all."
She is the president of a civil rights organization that filed a federal lawsuit last year against the Lexington Police Department on behalf of a group of city residents.
Aderrien Murry was wounded by police in Indianola, Mississippi, after he called 911.
The child's mother said she had asked him to call 911 for help but that a policeman arrived at their Mississippi home with his firearm already drawn.
About 200 people were at the restaurant when the shooter ran past employees doing security checks, according to the restaurant's owner.
