The shooting occurred as heightened scrutiny is being placed on police officer shootings, particularly those that involve white officers and unarmed black suspects.In November, a St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown last August, leading to nationwide protests. A few weeks later, a grand jury in New York decided not to charge an NYPD officer in the chokehold death of Staten Island resident Eric Garner.North Charleston police said the incident began around 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Slager attempted to pull Scott over because of a malfunctioning brake light. According to WCSC, Scott fled, resulting in a foot pursuit.
