An attorney for the Ohio deputy who fatally shot Casey Goodson Jr. says the young Black man pointed a gun at his client -- an allegation that was swiftly challenged by lawyers for Goodson's family.
The 23-year-old was shot one week ago by Franklin County Sheriff's Office deputy Jason Meade as he was trying to enter his home with a sandwich from Subway. Goodson, an Ohio concealed carry permit holder, was legally armed at the time, police said. He was not alleged to have committed any crimes, had no criminal background and was not the target of any investigation, family attorney Sean Walton told CNN.
