Deaf driver's shooting death by North Carolina trooper is under investigation

Deaf driver's shooting death by North Carolina trooper is under investigation

The North Carolina Highway Patrol is urging people not to jump to conclusions as state agents investigate how a deaf driver with a history of minor offenses ended up dead after leading a trooper on a 10-mile chase. The family of Daniel Kevin Harris said he was unarmed and suggested that the sequence of events last week was a tragic misunderstanding — the type the state's training manual warns troopers to avoid when dealing with the hearing impaired. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, Secretary Frank Perry of the state Department of Public Safety said in a news release.

Let us all refrain from making assumptions or drawing conclusions prior to the internal and independent reviews.

Last Thursday's incident started when Harris did not pull over as Trooper Jermaine Saunders turned on his blue lights on Interstate 485 near Charlotte, N.C., about 6:15 p.m. and ended after Harris had driven down several miles of streets to his home. Authorities haven't said why Saunders fired. They have released little information about the investigation, including any possible body camera or dashboard camera footage, or whether a gun had been found near Harris. Saunders has been placed on administrative leave.
