SEE IT: Graphic Video Appears to Show Police Shooting Death of Delaware Man in Wheelchair

A Delaware man who was paralyzed by gunfire 10 years ago was fatally shot by police Wednesday when authorities say he refused to drop his handgun — a claim his family vehemently denies.

Graphic video appearing to capture the terrifying shooting initially shows 28-year-old Jeremy McDole quietly slouched in a wheelchair in a Wilmington street before he’s approached by several armed officers.

Police say they were responding to a man who had shot himself when they found McDole “still armed with a handgun” in the street around 3 p.m., Police Chief Bobby Cummings said during a news conference Thursday.

Seconds after the first officer appears to spot McDole — calling to his fellow officers with “he’s over here!” — McDole’s heard being ordered to “show me your hands” before a single shot rings out.

McDole appears wounded when seen at a closer angle though it’s not clear where or if by the officer’s gunfire. (Read more from “SEE IT: Graphic Video Appears to Show Police Shooting Death of Delaware Man in Wheelchair” HERE)
