Five Oklahoma City Police officers were charged with first-degree manslaughter in last year's fatal shooting of a 15-year-old armed robbery suspect who had already dropped his weapon, according to court documents filed Wednesday in Oklahoma County.
Officers Bethany Sears, Jared Barton, Corey Adams, John Skuta and Brad Pemberton, who were all charged, are currently on paid administrative leave, Dan Stewart of the Oklahoma City Police Department told CNN. The department was informed of the charges on Tuesday.
A sixth officer, who fired a less-lethal round, was not charged, the affidavit states.
