North Charleston shooting: Police officer charged

Authorities in South Carolina have charged a police officer with murder, for shooting dead an apparently unarmed man, who appeared to be running away from him.

Video of the incident, filmed by a bystander in North Charleston, was published by the New York Times.

The footage appears to show Walter Scott being shot repeatedly in the back as he ran off, after a brief scuffle.
