Wrongful Death Lawsuit Over "Accidentally" Shot Teen
Dee-Jay Galmon was trying to help the police when he was killed
An 18-year-old was shot and killed by a deputy. That teen's family has now filed a federal suit claiming it was a wrongful death. Could the deputy's past have foretold the future?
"I can only tell you that without a doubt, my deputy says he did not intend to pull the trigger," said Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Daniel Edwards.
