Sirens. Then the deafening sound of gunfire. Vomiting.

Video footage released by a judge in Louisiana shows several police officers firing multiples shots into a car, killing a 6-year-old boy.

The incident took place in November 2015 and prompted the indictments of two Louisiana marshals on second degree murder and second degree attempted murder charges.

Jeremy Mardis was shot five times by Marksville marshals. His father was also critically wounded, CBS News reported. Prosecutors showed the tape in court on Wednesday to support a claim that one of the deputies, Derrick Stafford, had a history of excessive force.
