Calls for justice grew on Thursday after Aderrien Murry, an 11-year-old boy in Mississippi, was shot by a police officer after he called law enforcement over a domestic disturbance.
The boy has returned home after five days in hospital, where he was placed on a ventilator with a chest tube to treat a collapsed lung and fractured ribs, family lawyer Carlos Moore told The Washington Post.
The shooting took place when an acquaintance of Aderrien's mother came to the house “irate”. Concerned over the safety of her children, Nakala Murry had Aderrien call the police.
She told reporters at a press conference earlier this week that an officer arrived and told all the people in the house to exit.
When Aderrien complied, he was shot.
“He kept asking, 'Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?'” Ms Murry said.
The Indianola Police Department identified Greg Capers as the officer who shot the child. He has been placed on paid administrative leave as the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation continues its investigation, Mississippi Today reported.
The family, their legal team and other supporters gathered outside the Indianola City Hall on Thursday to call for Mr Capers to be charged and fired from the force. They are also asking for the release of body camera footage of the shooting.
“We cannot continue to tolerate a system that allows police officers to use deadly force with impunity,” Mr Moore said in a statement prior to the rally.
“We must demand justice for this young boy and his family.”

'The worst thing you can eat'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
