1 911 call leads to death of unarmed man

2 A frantic 911 call, released by authorities Tuesday, brought officers to a North Carolina home on Saturday. Minutes later, 12 bullets from one officer's gun flew toward Jonathon Ferrell, a 24-year-old unarmed man outside, who authorities now believe had been looking for help after a car accident. Police say the officer hit him 10 times. Randall Kerrick, the police officer who shot him, faces a felony charge of voluntary manslaughter. Police have said Kerrick and two other officers responded to what they believed was a "breaking and entering" call. When they got to the scene, police say, a man matching the 911 caller's description ran toward them. The release of the 911 tape Tuesday is the latest twist in a case that has drawn national attention and calls from some activists to charge the police officer with murder saying that Kerrick used excessive force and had no cause to shoot Ferrell.
