Newly released video and audio tapes are beginning to shed light on an inexplicable shooting that took place in a Columbus, Ohio, courthouse late last week, local media<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

According to the sheriff\u2019s office, Deputy Richard Scarborough shot 16-year-old Joseph Haynes during a physical altercation between Scarborough, Haynes, and Haynes\u2019s family. At some point the deputy was knocked to the ground and fired a single gunshot, which hit Haynes in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

Scarborough had been working security when he was called into a courtroom to deal with a disturbance during the course of Haynes\u2019s trial.<\/p>\n

Haynes was in juvenile court facing two delinquency cases involving guns. He died of his wounds at the hospital later that day.<\/p>\n

While the investigation is ongoing, the Columbus CBS affiliate<\/a> recently published video footage of the hallway outside of the courtroom where the shooting took place. The footage confirms the timeline reported by the sheriff\u2019s office as a group of deputies respond to the initial call for help, and medical personnel follow about ten minutes later.<\/p>\n
