Video: Cop mistakenly shoots suspect's mom during fight

Authorities say a sheriff's deputy in South Carolina unintentionally shot a shoplifting suspect's mother during a confrontation inside a home.

Body camera video released Wednesday shows the Greenville County deputy attempting to arrest Sean Theodore Kaiser, 40, at his mother's home in Greer during a shoplifting investigation in October.

The video shows Kaiser and the deputy involved in a struggle while Kaiser's mother, whom his lawyer identified as Dianne Maros, is in the room. Maros attempts to hold Kaiser back but he is later seen coming toward the deputy, who then fires her service weapon. The first gunshot strikes Maros. A second shot fired by the deputy doesn't hit anyone.
