Two law enforcement officers accused of murder in the shooting of a 6-year-old boy last week were hit with million-dollar bail amounts, while an attorney for the child’s father said body camera video reportedly shows the man’s raised hands as the officers began firing at his SUV. 
 
 State Police have said at least 18 bullets were fired, injuring Chris Few and killing his son Jeremy David Mardis. An attorney for Few said Few presented no threat to deputy local marshals who approached the car on the night of Nov. 3. 
 
 “This was not a threatening situation for the police,” said Mark Jeansonne, the attorney. He had not seen the video but said it was described during a closed-door hearing to discuss bail for Derrick Stafford, 32, and Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23. 
 
 The Avoyelles Parish judge presiding over the case, William J. Bennett, issued a gag order shortly after Jeansonne made the comments, barring anyone associated with the case — including victims, potential witnesses and attorneys — from speaking with the media “directly or indirectly or through any third parties.” 
 
 Jeremy, an autistic first-grader at Lafargue Elementary School in the nearby Avoyelles Parish town of Effie, was quietly buried Monday in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in a small, private ceremony. 
 
 The boy’s final resting place is a graveyard near the De Soto National Forest. Funeral home staff said the family was still distraught over Jeremy’s death and would not speak to reporters Monday. 
 
 Few, who was shot multiple times, remains hospitalized in fair condition at Rapides Regional Medical Center in Alexandria and was unable to attend the funeral. Jeansonne, his attorney, said Few has not yet been told that his son was killed. 
 
 Hours earlier, Bennett, who sits on the 12th Judicial District Court bench, set bail for Stafford and Greenhouse at $1 million each. Avoyelles Parish Sheriff Doug Anderson, who announced the bail decision after the hearing, said the two officers had been held in seclusion away from other inmates at the Avoyelles Parish Jail. They have since been transferred to the Rapides Parish Detention Center. Neither had posted bail as of Monday evening. 
 
 State Police Superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson said that Stafford and Greenhouse had initially told State Police investigators in brief statements that they were trying to serve a warrant on Few when they began chasing him shortly before 9:30 p.m. Nov. 3, but that those claims didn’t bear out. 
 
 “There was no warrant,” Edmonson said. 
 
 A number of Marksville residents gathered outside the Avoyelles Parish Jail before the bail hearing, saying they saw the shooting death of Jeremy as indicative of ongoing problems with local law enforcement. 
 
 “Y’all just don’t know what the hell we go through around here,” said Ruby Ivory, of nearby Mansura, who described a number of run-ins with Marksville authorities. 
 
 Those concerns were echoed by John Lemoine, Marksville’s 63-year-old mayor, who said he’s struggled since he was first elected in 2010 to reform the city’s Police Department and dismiss troublesome officers but has been hampered by Civil Service Board rulings. 
 
 “We have citizens that deserve to be served and protected by the badge. Currently, that’s not always happening,” said Lemoine, a Marksville native and former School Board member who owns an auto shop and wrecker service in town. 
 
 Lemoine said his own issues with Stafford included an arrest in 2011 after Stafford testified in court that the mayor had threatened to physically harm another officer whom Lemoine was attempting to have dismissed following complaints. Lemoine said he never threatened the officer. 
 
 In a separate case, an Avoyelles Parish civil court jury in October 2014 found that Stafford had lied in a criminal proceeding and filed a false police report about the arrest of a man who’d complained about the officer not letting him pass through a crowded area to carry his ailing dog to receive medical care in 2012. Avoyelles Parish resident Patrick Jeansonne was arrested after Stafford heard over the police radio that someone called in a complaint about him, according to one of the man’s court filings. 
 
 The case is now on appeal in the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, said Jeansonne’s attorney Aaron Broussard. 
 
 At least five other pending civil suits name Stafford as a defendant, and two of those included Greenhouse as another defendant. 
 
 The suits include a 2012 lawsuit that alleges Stafford used a stun gun unprovoked and without warning while questioning a man. Another suit claims that Stafford used a stun gun on a handcuffed woman in the back of a police car while another accuses him of breaking a 15-year-old girl’s arm while wrestling her off a school bus. 
 
 Megan Dixon, Few’s fiancée, said this weekend that Few had a previous run-in with Greenhouse. A former high school classmate of Dixon, Greenhouse had started messaging her on Facebook and had come by the house Few and Dixon were sharing at the time. 
 
 “I told Chris and Chris confronted him about it and told him, ‘Next time you come to my house I’m going to hurt you,’ ” Dixon said. 
 
 Efforts to reach an attorney for Greenhouse were unsuccessful. 
 
 Avoyelles Parish District Attorney Charles Riddle III recused himself from the case early Monday morning. Norris Greenhouse Sr., the father of one of the accused officers, has been an assistant district attorney in the parish for 20 years and is currently the head of the office’s major crimes unit. 
 
 The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office will be prosecuting the case, said agency spokesman Aaron Sadler, who added no court date has been set. 
 
 “We will begin a detailed and thorough investigation, leaving no stone unturned,” attorney general James D. “Buddy” Caldwell said in a statement. “I can simply assure you that at the end of the process, justice will be served.” 
 
 The body camera footage of the shooting, captured by Sgt. Kenneth Parnell, an on-duty Marksville police officer who arrived just before Greenhouse and Stafford allegedly opened fire, was described by Edmonson at a news conference Friday as “the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen.” 
 
 Edmonson said Monday that only State Police investigators and the judge have seen the video. He declined to address Mark Jeansonne’s claim that Few’s hands were up and declined to discuss what exactly is depicted. 
 
 Marksville’s Police Department purchased body cameras “three or four months ago,” Lemoine said, after the city’s police commissioner, Clyde Benson, had raised concerns about controversial police shootings elsewhere in the country. 
 
 Still, Lemoine said he never anticipated that a deadly shooting would rock his small, rural municipality of about 5,700 residents. 
 
 “It’s sad for the whole community,” Lemoine said. “Nobody would’ve ever expected that to happen around here. It really hit home.” 
 
 Marksville Police Chief Elster Smith Jr. said that Stafford, a lieutenant and shift supervisor with the department, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave and that Greenhouse, a deputy Alexandria city marshal and a reserve officer in Marksville, hadn’t worked for his department in several months. 
 
 Lemoine said he anticipated the City Council taking action to dismiss both at its meeting on Thursday. 
 
 The two other officers involved in the incident — Parnell, who captured the event on his body camera, and Lt. Jason Brouillette — are on administrative leave with pay, Lemoine said. Neither of those officers are believed to have fired a shot during the confrontation, though Edmonson said State Police will be conducting ballistics tests on all four officers’ weapons to confirm that later this week. 
 
 Greenhouse, Stafford and Brouillette had been moonlighting with the Marksville City Marshal’s Office at the time of the shooting. The office — similar to a constable and overseen by Ward 2 Marshal Floyd Voinche Sr., a school bus driver who was recently re-elected to the position — normally serve subpoenas, warrants and other court documents. 
 
 Lemoine said Voinche bought a pair of used police cruisers about three months ago and began patrolling the city and issuing citations. The mayor questioned that decision and said that Voinche never consulted with the City Council or the Marksville Police Department before hiring assistants. Lemoine wrote to the state Attorney General’s Office in September asking for an opinion on whether the marshal has authority to patrol in the city limits. 
 
 “As long as I’ve been living in Marksville, his job has always been to do warrants and serve subpoenas,” Lemoine said. “I’ve never known a ward marshal to do what’s been done in this case.” 
 
 Voinche, who’d previously defended his office’s authority to patrol the city, could not be reached for comment Monday.

 A police body camera recorded the father, Chris Few, with his hands up and posing no threat as police fired into his car, severely wounding Few and killing his son, the man's lawyer said. 
 
 "This was not a threatening situation for the police," said Mark Jeansonne, an attorney for Chris Few, who remained hospitalized and could not attend Monday's funeral of his son, Jeremy Mardis. 
 
 Few's condition was improving Monday, but as of midday, he had not been told that his son is dead, Jeansonne said. His stepfather, Morris German, said last week that Few had bullet fragments in his brain and lung. 
 
 The officers, Derrick Stafford, 32, and Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, were ordered held on $1 million bonds on second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder charges during a hearing, Jeansonne said. 
 
 The lawyer said he hasn't seen the body camera video himself, but its contents were described during the hearing. Louisiana's state police chief, Col. Mike Edmonson, said Friday that "it's the most disturbing thing I've seen — and I will leave it at that." 
 
 Greenhouse is the son of a top assistant prosecutor for District Attorney Charles A. Riddle, who recused himself from the case, calling it "not good for any of us." 
 
 Judge William Bennett set the officers' bond during a hearing he held inside the jail after refusing news media requests to open the proceedings. No transcripts were made available, and the judge later issued a sweeping gag order prohibiting anyone involved in the case, including potential witnesses and victims, from providing any information to the media. 
 
 Investigators have been reviewing forensics evidence, 911 calls and body camera recordings, but said little about them even before the gag order. 
 
 The official silence leaves many questions unanswered, including what prompted the fatal confrontation, and whether anyone else is being investigated for any crimes. At least two other officers were involved, authorities said, but their roles remain unclear. 
 
 Investigators have not suggested that race is a factor in the shooting, which may not fit neatly into a national debate about race and policing. Booking records describe the officers as African-American; no available records describe the race of the father and son. 
 
 Few, a boat pilot on the Red River, was on probation at the time of the shooting after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated in February, according to court records. 
 
 Stafford is a Marksville Police lieutenant; Greenhouse is a city marshal. Both were on marshal duty Tuesday night. Initial reports suggested they were trying to serve Few with a warrant when he fled onto a dead-end road and then reversed his car in their direction at about 9:30 p.m. 
 
 But Edmonson said there was no evidence of a warrant, nor any gun at the scene. 
 
 The officers were moved from the jail in Marksville to a lockup in the central Louisiana city of Alexandria after Monday's bond hearing, for reasons no one would explain, citing the gag order. 
 
 The possibility that they could post bond and remain free during the investigation didn't sit well with some townspeople who gathered outside the jail. 
 
 "The same day the boy is being buried," said Barbara Scott. "Shame, shame, shame." 
 
 "This child couldn't hurt a fly and his life is gone. I feel justice was not served," added Latasha Murray. 
 
 Jeremy Mardis was by all accounts a happy first-grader at Lafargue Elementary in Effie, Louisiana, where he attended school after his parents split and he moved to Marksville, where his father's family lives. 
 
 Jeremy was mourned Monday at his funeral in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where his mother, Katie Mardis, lives with the boy's sister. 
 
 "He was just a very sweet loving little boy who enjoyed being at school and enjoyed his friends," said Anita Bonnette, his assistant principal at Lafargue, where a crisis team was brought in to counsel Jeremy's classmates and teachers.

 Santana reported from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. ||||| MARKSVILLE, La. -- Two city marshals from Marksville, Louisiana, were ordered to be held today on $1 million bond each. Both are charged with murder in the shooting death of a 6-year-old boy -- the son of a man they were pursuing. 
 
 This is a case the state police chief called the most disturbing thing he's ever seen. 
 
 Louisiana State Police 
 
 CBS News has learned that video from police officer's body camera appears to show Christopher Few with his hands in the air, before investigators say he was shot at 18 times by Deputy Ward Marshals Norris Greenhouse Jr., and Derrick Stafford. 
 
 The head of Louisiana State Police Mike Edmonson said at this point they do not know why the two marshals wanted to pursue Few in the first place. 
 
 "We don't know that yet," Edmonson said. "We're gonna find out." 
 
 Investigators are looking into whether one of the marshals had a personal grudge against Few. 
 
 What investigators say they do know is that on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at roughly 9 p.m., Christopher Few was driving in a white SUV with his 6-year-old son Jeremy Mardis in the front seat. They were being pursued by the deputy marshals. 
 
 Few came to a dead end and tried to back up. That's when investigators said the deputy marshals started shooting. Few, still inside his vehicle, put his hands up, according to police. 
 
 Chief Edmonson has seen the footage from the police body camera. When he was asked if it looks like Few was trying to use the vehicle as a weapon to hurt the officers he replied, "Nothing tells us any of that right now. All we saw was the vehicle backing up, all we saw was the gunfire." 
 
 Jeremy Mardis, who had autism, was hit by five bullets in the head and chest. He died at the scene. His father was also shot and is still in the hospital in fair condition. 
 
 CBS News 
 
 The deputy marshals turned themselves in. 
 
 "This is a small community, everybody knows everybody and it's a tragic situation. Everybody is paying the price," said Avoyelles Parish Sheriff Doug Anderson. 
 
 Jeremy was buried on Monday in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. 
 
 The Few family attorney said on Monday that Few was too injured to attend his sons funeral. And in fact, hasn't yet been told his son was killed. 
 
 The marshals have not entered a plea yet. CBS News reached out to their attorneys and did not get a response. ||||| (CNN) A Louisiana district attorney has recused himself from prosecuting the case of two police officers who allegedly killed a 6-year-old boy while pursuing his father's car. 
 
 Avoyelles Parish District Attorney Charles Riddle filed a motion Monday for recusal, citing his relationship with one of the officer's families. 
 
 Louisiana City Marshals Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, and Derrick Stafford, 32, have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. 
 
 According to the motion, Greenhouse's father, Norris Greenhouse Sr., is an assistant district attorney under Riddle. 
 
 Louisiana Attorney General James "Buddy" Caldwell said in a statement that he'd received the recusal order and "we will begin a detailed and thorough investigation, leaving no stone unturned." 
 
 "I can simply assure you that at the end of the process, justice will be served," he added. 
 
 In a court hearing Monday, a Louisiana judge set a $1 million bond for each of the two officers. The court has ordered both men to surrender their firearms and badges. 
 
 Lingering questions 
 
 Nearly a week has passed since the incident occurred, but answers to disturbing questions are slow in coming. 
 
 A source close to the case information tells CNN that on the evening of November 3, marshals began pursuing the father, Chris Few, after they witnessed an argument between Few and his girlfriend in front of a local bar. 
 
 The source says the marshals alleged they witnessed "domestic abuse" and moved in to detain Few, who instead took off in his SUV. 
 
 The police pursuit ended in a hail of gunfire that left Few critically wounded and his young son dead. 
 
 Still unknown: Why did they open fire on 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis? 
 
 The first-grader was buckled in the front passenger seat of his father's truck when he was shot five times in the head and chest. At least 18 rounds were fired at the father and son from two firearms. 
 
 The boy's father was also struck. A hospital representative told CNN on Monday that authorities had upgraded Few from serious to fair condition. 
 
 The shooting happened on a dead-end street at the end of the chase in Marksville, a town of about 5,500 about 90 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, authorities said. 
 
 Investigators said there were no outstanding warrants against the father, and no firearm was found in his vehicle. 
 
 Greenhouse knew Few before the deadly encounter, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN. Investigators are looking into the extent of their relationship. 
 
 In an interview with CNN "New Day's" Alisyn Camerota, Louisiana State Police Superintendent Col. Michael Edmonson stressed that Marksville is a small town. 
 
 "We believe that they had some type of relationship where they met each other, knew each other," Edmonson said. "As this progresses, we'll certainly find out more and more information. But I think in a town like this, everyone knows each other." 
 
 Officers' history 
 
 At least one of the two officers was accused of a crime before. 
 
 According to The Town Talk newspaper in Alexandria, Louisiana, Stafford was indicted in 2011 on two counts of aggravated rape. The Town Talk reported that both cases were dismissed without prejudice in 2012. One of the incidents dated back to 2004. The other occurred while Stafford was employed by the Marksville Police Department, where he has worked for eight years. 
 
 Neither the Marksville Police Department nor Stafford's family has responded to CNN's requests for comment regarding those cases. 
 
 Stafford has been named as a defendant in five civil lawsuits, including at least one related to the use of excessive force. That particular case is still pending. 
 
 Greenhouse has also been named in a civil lawsuit related to the use of excessive force. That case is still pending. 
 
 Both men were working second jobs as city marshals when the shooting happened. Stafford is a full-time Marksville police lieutenant, and Greenhouse is a marshal in Alexandria, Edmonson said. 
 
 According to a CNN review of both officers' records, neither has ever been convicted of a crime. 
 
 'Disturbing' footage 
 
 The head of Louisiana's state police said "disturbing" body camera footage helped build the case against the two officers accused of shooting the boy. 
 
 "I've been a police officer for 35 years, but as a father -- much less as a state police -- it was a disturbing, disturbing video that I watched, and that really helped move us forward," Edmonson said Sunday. 
 
 "I've got to deal in facts. What's important to me is what caused those police officers to pursue," Edmonson said. "What caused them to open fire?" 
 
 "He (Jeremy) didn't deserve to die like that. We need to find out why." 
 
 The town's mayor, John Lemoine, told CNN's Brianna Keilar on Monday that the body cameras were a recent addition for local police. 
 
 "We just went ahead and got these body cameras for these officers, and I'm glad that we did," Lemoine said. "It ... shed a lot of light on what happened the other night." 
 
 Mourning Jeremy 
 
 On Monday afternoon, a small prayer vigil was held at the site of the shooting. 
 
 About a dozen people joined hands in a circle around a small collection of mementos left for Jeremy. People have been leaving multicolored balloons, flowers, stuffed animals and notes around the dead-end street. 
 
 Broken glass is still strewn across the ground. Just steps away, at least one bullet hole has been marked with orange paint in a split-rail fence. 
 
 Some of the people gathered for the vigil were from Marksville, and others came from the surrounding area. Several told CNN they were unable to travel the distance to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for Jeremy's funeral and burial, held Monday afternoon. 
 
 Jeremy Whittington was among those who attended the vigil. He told CNN's Martin Savidge he works with Few, and has been visiting him at the hospital. 
 
 He said he last visited Few on Sunday evening. 
 
 Whittington said Few was awake but drifting in and out of consciousness. He had difficulty speaking because he was connected to breathing tubes. 
 
 Jeremy's first-grade special needs teacher Roxanne Couvillion said the boy loved class, playing and alphabet puzzles. Jeremy was autistic and did not communicate verbally, she said. Couvillion said he was one of her favorite students. 
 
 She said she especially loved the way his eyes lit up when he smiled. 
 
 "We're just heartbroken," she said. "He always was an angel, and we know that he's watching over us."
– The two Louisiana cops accused of gunning down a 6-year-old autistic boy will each have to come up with $1 million bail, a judge ruled Monday, CNN reports. The judge also ordered 23-year-old Norris Greenhouse Jr. and 32-year-old Derrick Stafford—charged with the murder of Jeremy Mardis and attempted murder of his father, Chris Few—to hand over their badges and guns. The Avoyelles Parish DA also made headlines, filing a motion to be recused because Greenhouse's father is an assistant DA under him. Meanwhile, a law enforcement source tells CBS that body-camera footage appears to show Few with his hands in the air before the cops started shooting. "This was not a threatening situation for the police," Few's attorney says, per the AP. CBS notes investigators are looking into whether there was a grudge against Few, speculation backed by Few's fiancee, who tells the Advocate that he had a previous confrontation with Greenhouse. Other details are slowly emerging about the two Marksville marshals. Stafford was indicted on aggravated rape charges in 2011 for alleged attacks on two separate victims, Alexandria's local paper reports; the case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning Stafford could still face those charges. He's also named as a defendant in at least five pending civil complaints, including two suits in which he's accused of unnecessarily using stun guns on suspects and one in which he allegedly broke a teen girl's arm while removing her from a school bus, the Advocate reports. Greenhouse also shows up as a defendant in an excessive-force lawsuit, per CNN. Marksville residents outside the bail hearing Monday told the Advocate about ongoing issues with local cops. "Y'all just don't know what the hell we go through around here," one said. Jeremy was buried near Hattiesburg, Miss., Monday in a private ceremony, per the Advocate.
