Indianola Police Sgt. Greg Capers is speaking out after a grand jury cleared him in the shooting of an unarmed 11-year-old boy inside his home.
Indianola Police Sgt. Greg Capers is speaking out in an exclusive interview with "GMA3" co-anchor DeMarco Morgan after a grand jury decided not to indict him in the shooting of an unarmed 11-year-old boy inside his Mississippi home.
"People have their own opinion, and unless they're in our shoes, you never know exactly what you may run into or encounter on a day's time, within your 12-hour schedules," Capers said when asked what he thinks about people who believe he acted poorly during the incident.
He continued, "You just never know what you may run into. Spur of the moment, it's a split decision that has to be made."
Capers said he has shed many tears over the incident, and thinks about the boy, Aderrien Murry, "all the time."
"I hate it that it happened," said Capers. "It definitely wasn't intentional. I hate that it happened because even I love kids."
