Mother: the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen
In an interview with Good Morning America, Walter Scott’s mother, Judy Scott describes viewing the tape of her son’s shooting:
When I looked at that tape, it was the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen, I am very very upset concerning it it. I almost couldn’t look at it. To see my son running defensively and being shot – it just tore my heart to pieces. I pray that this never happens to another person – this has to got to stop…From a child he has been raised in the church. From day one he sang in the choir, he played the drums he would call his mom every single day.
Walter’s brother Anthony describes the moment he arrived at the scene:
The police told me had died. That is all they gave me. I already knew he had been Tasered – I thought that’s what had actually happened. He had gotten Tasered to death. But then my nephew told me he had died.
