The mother of the 11-year-old Mississippi boy who was shot in his home by police after calling 911 to report a domestic disturbance is suing the city, the police chief, and the officer accused of firing at her son.

In the lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Aderrien Murry’s mother, Nakala Murry, accuses the Indianola Police Department department of gross negligence, use of excessive force, and of failing to adequately train and supervise officers, USA Today reported.

The family is seeking $5 million in damages, the outlet said.

Aderrien suffered a collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and a lacerated liver when he was shot in the chest by Officer Greg Capers in the early hours of May 20.

He was released from the hospital last week, and is still recovering at home. In an interview with “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, he said he had his hands up when Capers entered the family’s home.

“It felt like a Taser, like a big punch to the chest,” Aderrien said of the moment Capers fired at him.

“It was God that saved my life and I truly truly believe that.” 

Nakala desperately put pressure on her son’s wound as she waited for emergency services.

“He was like, ‘I don’t want to die,’ that’s what he was saying,” she recalled.

“I said, ‘You’re not going to die, baby, you’re not going to die, just keep talking.’”

Nakala previously explained that Aderrien called 911 when his sister’s “irate” father showed up at the family’s window at 4 a.m.

“From dealing with him in the past, I know the irate version of him, what it could lead to,” she said.

Nakala’s attorney, Carlos Moore, said that police were told three times that there were no weapons on the premises, but Capers still entered with his gun drawn.

The lawsuit accuses Capers – who was suspended by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation after the incident – failed to assess and respond to the situation appropriately.

Moore told “Good Morning America” that Capers’ behavior was the most extreme example of excessive force he had ever seen. He noted that both Aderrien and Capers are black.

“With living in the South, Mississippi, especially, sometimes you feel that you can trust the police a little more when they (are) your own color, your own race,” he said.

“But now this man, this young boy, would never trust law enforcement again.”

“I don’t care what color the cop is, what color the victim is. [Police brutality] has to stop,” Nakala seconded.
