THIS is the horrific moment two cops fired shots at a car killing a six-year-old boy.

A graphic video released by a judge shows the dramatic scene of the shooting that resulted in the death of little Jeremy Mardis in Marksville, Louisiana, US, last year.

Footage shows the shooting which only lasts for seconds followed by 13 minutes of the heart-breaking aftermath as the officer with the body camera checks on the lifeless body of the little boy in the passenger seat as his dad, Christopher Few, lies bleeding out on the floor.

The shooting took place November 3, 2015 after marshals Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr. claimed they tried to pull Few over for an outstanding warrant.

Prosecutors say that one of the officers, Derrick Stafford, had a pattern of hurting people he’s arresting – including last November’s fatal shooting, in which he shot at Few while his hands were raised.

Matthew Derbes, a prosecutor from Attorney General Jeff Landry's office, said: "Motive is something the jury wants to hear. Why would they do this?"

But defence attorneys for Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr. argue that the officers acted in self-defence.

They claim Few drove recklessly during a two-mile police chase in which ended up in a collision between the two vehicles which triggered the shooting

One of Stafford's attorneys, Christopher LaCour said: "Christopher Few was a suspect before they knew that child was in the car."

While the video doesn't capture the entire incident, District Court Judge William Bennett noted the graphic footage showed no evidence that the cops were in fear for their lives.

“I never saw a kid in the car, man,” Stafford tells Greenhouse according to the Associated Press, which has not published that part of the video yet.

“I never saw a kid, bro."

But ballistics indicate he fired his gun 14 times, striking the child at least three times.

Greenhouse fired four times, but they have not determined if his bullets struck anybody.

The footage is from a body cam worn by a third cop, Marksville Police Sgt. Kenneth Parnell, III, who did not fire his gun.

The head of the Louisiana State Police said the bodycam footage was the most disturbing thing he's ever seen.

Stafford and Greenhouse Jr both face second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder charges.
