WTF? Suicidal So Carolina Man, 29, Survives Hail of Bullets As Mom Tries to Console Him

A suicidal South Carolina man who survived being shot by cops nine times is suing the officers for 'excessive use of deadly force.'

Trevor Mullinax, 29, who has previously been arrested for crimes including burglary and domestic violence, claims he was sitting in his pickup truck talking to his mother when police descended on them 'like cowboys from a John Wayne movie.'

The York County Sheriff's Office contest the claims, and say 'Mr. Mullinax chose to put these men in danger by pulling a shotgun.'
