MIAMI – A man shot multiple times by a City of Miami police officer in March is speaking out to CBS News Miami.
Video of the incident, which some may find disturbing, also has been obtained for the first time.
An officer shot Donald Armstrong six times in March.
His mother called police asking for help, saying her son was having a mental health crisis.
What happened next Armstrong said has changed his life forever.
“II have a big hole right here that deep in my chest,” he said. “Everybody who I know that’s in law enforcement says she tried to kill you. She tried to take your life Mr. Armstrong. Can you get that?”
Body-worn camera video of the shooting was released to CBS News Miami by Armstrong’s attorney.
The victim said he remembers everything about the day he was shot, including being high on drugs.
“I was not in my right state of mind at the time,” he said.
