Airman back from Iraq shot by deputy

http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-video01.html

<snip>The dark, grainy videotape shows Carrion lying on the ground next to the car, talking to a silhouetted officer who is pointing a gun at him. Carrion supports himself on one arm and his face is brightly lit by the officer's flashlight.

Carrion is heard telling the officer he is unarmed and is in the military.

At one point, a voice is heard saying several times: ''Get up.''

Carrion says: ''I'm gonna get up.'' As he rose, at least four shots were fired and Carrion collapsed.
