Al Sharpton speaks at funeral for man killed by sheriff's deputies in Augusta

The family of a man shot and killed by sheriff's deputies at a public housing complex in Augusta laid him to rest on Monday.

Justin Elmore died last Tuesday, two days after the shooting, which officials say happened after the man apparently tried to run over them.

The shooting prompted an angry riot, with people hurling bottles and rocks at police.

Several residents of the housing complex say they witnessed the shooting, and believe Elmore was innocent and that he was not trying to hurt anyone.

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton spoke at Elmore's funeral. He called for peace. Sharpton says he does not condone last week's confrontation with deputies. He says he'll wait until an investigation of the shooting by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is complete before he decides whether to become further involved in the case.
