Combat vet killed by Texas deputy buried in Alabama on 9/11

Associated Press

 

MONTEVALLO, Ala. (AP) — An Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and was shot to death by police in Texas is being buried in his home state of Alabama on the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. 

Relatives of Damian Daniels gathered at Alabama National Cemetery on Friday to honor the 30-year-old man.

Daniels was in the throes of mental problems when he was shot to death at his home in San Antonio last month by a sheriff's deputy. Brother Brendan Daniels says he called authorities to help his brother after he began having paranoid hallucinations. Daniels says a call for help should never end in death.

Daniels' death remains under review.
