“Seneca Police Lt. Mark Tiller shot and killed Zachary Hammond, 19, of Seneca, S.C., in an attempted marijuana bust July 26 in a fast-food parking lot. The officer said he shot Hammond because he feared the teenager was trying to run over him with his car. Eric Bland, lawyer for the Hammond family, said video from the officer’s dashboard camera clearly shows that Tiller was not in danger of being run over when he fired the fatal shot and said federal charges of civil-rights violations could still be forthcoming. Tori Morton of Pickens, Hammond’s date that night, was charged with simple possession of marijuana.”
