Detroit officer charged in rubber pellet shooting at protest

  A police corporal accused of shooting three photojournalists with rubber pellets while they covered protests in Detroit against police brutality has been charged with assault. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says Monday that 32-year-old Detroit Police Corporal Daniel Debono faces multiple counts of felonious assault. Worthy says on May 31 in downtown Detroit, 30-year-old MLive.com photojournalist Nicole Hester and two independent photojournalists, 28-year-old Seth Herald and 29-year-old Matthew Hatcher, encountered Debono and two other officers. Worthy says the photojournalists were wearing press credentials, identified themselves as media and raised their hands as they asked to cross the street when Debono shot them with rubber pellets. They suffered bruises and other injuries.
