The family of an 11-year-old Mississippi boy who was shot and wounded by a police officer who was responding to a 911 call to their home last weekend has demanded the release of police bodycam footage.

"The family deserves answers and they deserve it sooner than later because you had an 11-year-old boy within an inch of losing his life," the family's attorney Carlos Moore told CBS News.

An Indianola Police Department officer came to the family's home after the child called the police for a domestic incident, his mother Nakala Murry said. Police arrived at the house, and at first they knocked on the door, but then kicked the door open, the family recounted. Aderrien heard the order and went out of his room towards the living room, the family said. As he got into the living room he was shot by the same officer who told him to come out, Moore said.
