Barbara Scott (R), cousin of Walter Scott, the 50-year-old man who was killed after being fired at eight times as he ran away from an officer after a traffic stop, lays flowers with her mother Evaliana Smalls (L) at the lot where the incident happened in North Charleston, South Carolina on April 8, 2015. Police officer Michael Slager,33, who fatally shot Scott in the US city of North Charleston has been fired after he was charged with murder, the mayor said. Speaking at a highly charged press conference frequently interrupted by residents angered at America’s latest high-profile police killing of a black man, Mayor Keith Summey said the city had moved quickly to fire the officer after Saturday’s shooting.
