Family attorney for unarmed man shot by deputy says 'failure of communication' between dispatcher and officers led to shooting
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
