Walter Scott was gunned down April 4, 2015, by North Charleston, South Carolina, Officer Michael Thomas Slager. The officer pulled Scott over for a broken taillight. At some point, Scott exited the car and was standing in a vacant lot with Slager. For whatever reason, Scott turns and begins to run away from the officer. Slager stands flat-footed in a shooting stance as the unarmed Scott runs away, and Scott is shot in the back multiple times.
