CNN
The family attorney for an unarmed man shot and wounded by a Virginia sheriff's deputy said the shooting occurred because of a "failure of communication" between 911 dispatchers and deputies on the scene.
Isaiah Brown, 32, was shot by a Spotsylvania County Sheriff's deputy while Brown was on the phone with 911 dispatch, David Haynes, the Brown family attorney, said in a news conference in Spotsylvania Courthouse on Monday morning. Haynes said the deputy opened fire after mistaking Brown's cordless phone for a gun.More Related News
