California Weird: MP Iraq Vet Shot By Deputy For No Reason? -- Video
2006-02-08
LOS ANGELES -- The shooting of Senior Airman, Elio Carrion, on leave from Iraq was caught on videotape. Carrion is recovering from his injuries and has been released from the hospital. His family is demanding answers and calling for the arrest of the deputy involved in the shooting.

Amateur video caught the confrontation between San Bernardino Sheriff deputies and Carrion, who was home after serving in Iraq as a military policeman. He was a passenger in a Corvette that was stopped by police after a short pursuit. He was unarmed and in the video seemed to be cooperating with deputies appearing to tell them, 'I'm on your side.'

Deputy Ivory Webb is on paid administrative leave while the department and FBI investigates. Carrion's family says the deputy should face criminal charges.

Elio is out of the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds to the chest, legs and shoulders.

The man who shot the video is now in jail under what police say are unrelated charges from an old warrant. Elio's family say they are thankful to him for recording the shooting that now represent their best hope for justice...
