Police in North Carolina shot and killed a man running toward them Saturday morning -- but he may have just been looking for help.
----------------------
One of the officers pulled out his stun gun, but it malfunctioned.
Another officer then opened fire, police said.
Jonathan Ferrell died at the scene. He was shot several times.
He was unarmed.
Police now believe Ferrell was seeking assistance after crashing his car.
----------------------
Police have charged Officer Randall Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter -- a felony.
He turned himself in Saturday afternoon and was being held early Sunday on a $50,000 bond.
--------------
There were three officers at the scene, but Kerrick was the only one to use a gun.
He fired several times, police said.
