For Immediate Release: Department of Justice Petitioned to Investigate After Police Shooting of Lakota Man
Witness Says Clarence Leading Fighter Was Already Incapacitated When Fatally Shot in Nebraska Church
On Sunday, Apr. 14, a 32-year old Lakota man named Clarence Leading Fighter was shot twice and killed by a Rushville, Nebraska sheriff's deputy in the doorway of a Catholic Church. Now, an eye witness has disputed police accounts of the shooting, saying that Leading Fighter was already incapacitated when he was shot.
Donald American Horse saw the entire interaction, which followed an altercation between his sister and Leading Fighter. "[Clarence] opened that door to that church and they hit him with that taser," said American Horse. "He fell in towards that door, he was kind of halfway in and halfway out. About the time he hit the floor that cop pulled his gun, pointed towards the ground, and pop pop. That was it. They didn't even give him a chance."
