"Louisiana marshals face murder charge over boy's gun death

7 November 201

Two marshals in the US state of Louisiana are to be charged with murder after the fatal shooting of a six-year-old boy.
Jeremy Mardis and his father, Chris Few, were in a car when they were shot in Marksville on Tuesday night.

Officers Norris Greenhouse and Derrick Stafford were arrested after a vehicle chase that left Mr Few, who was driving, critically injured.

Jeremy died at the scene and Mr Few remains in hospital.

The two officers were arrested on Friday after body-camera footage taken from them was assessed.

I can't agree with probus.
You can have a part-time job that is your main job.
You can have a second job that is more than 30 hours a week.

I do agree with Clive - I've never seen "secondary" job.
