7 N.C. officers on leave after fatal shooting
Seven North Carolina Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office deputies were placed on leave after a Black man was shot and killed Wednesday by members of their department serving drug-related search and arrest warrants, authorities said Friday. The disclosure comes as calls increase for the release of deputy body camera footage amid signs — including emergency scanner traffic — that Andrew Brown Jr. was shot in the back and killed as he was trying to drive away.
