(WBAP/KLIF) — Authorities say an Army soldier who shot and killed an armed protester after driving into a crowd rioting against police violence in the Texas capital last summer has been indicted on a murder charge.
An attorney for Sergeant Daniel Perry expressed disappointment in the indictment, Thursday, but expressed confidence that Perry would be acquitted. The indictment comes nearly a year after 28-year-old Garrett Foster was was killed during a night of riots and unrest in several U.S. cities.
Perry’s attorneys say the soldier was working for a ride-sharing company and acted in self-defense after Foster pointed a gun at him.
