SAYING GOODBYE

Walter Scott was killed by police in South Carolina.

Mourners gathered on Saturday for the funeral of Walter Scott, the unarmed South Carolina man who was shot to death by a police officer after fleeing a traffic stop. The funeral will take place in Summerville, a town around 20 miles away from where Scott was gunned down.
