Alabama Police Officer Charged With Murder in Shooting of Unarmed Man


An Alabama police officer was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder in the shooting death of an unarmed black man in Montgomery last week, authorities said.

Montgomery police officer Aaron "A.C." Smith, 23, was charged with murder in the death of Gregory Gunn, 59, who was fatally shot early Thursday, Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey said. 

"[The State Bureau of Investigations] and I agreed at the beginning of this investigation that this case would be treated as any other case," Bailey said in a statement. "We agreed that if there were probable cause that a crime had been committed then an arrest would be made."
