Two Lousiana police officers have been charged with murder after a six-year old autistic boy was shot dead in his father's car.

It happened during a chase in the town of Marksville on Tuesday night.

Jeremy Mardis was apparently hit by five bullets in the head and chest and his father, Chris Few, was wounded in the incident.

He is still being treated in hospital.

Louisiana Police say officers Derek Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr face charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.

Two other officers involved in the shooting have not yet been charged. All four are on administrative leave.

State police chief Colonel Mike Edmonson said: "Jeremy Mardis, six years old; he didn't deserve to die like that.

He went on: "We took some of the body cam footage. I'm not gonna talk about it, but I'm gonna tell you this - it is the most disturbing thing I've seen and I will leave it at that."

Officials have said police were chasing Mr Few to serve him a warrant but it is not clear why they opened fire. According to reports, he was not armed.

Police say Jeremy, who was strapped into the front seat of his father’s car, was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a statement to WAFB-TV, his grandmother Samantha Few said he was diagnosed with autism at the age of two.

She described Jeremy as "a special gift from God", adding: "He was always smiling, always happy. He loved everyone he met and they loved him.

"He didn’t deserve what happened. He wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

And the father was a bit reckless too,who would try to outrun police with a 6 year old in tow.

Disgraceful, just another example of fatal incompetence from the US police. It's a white kid that's been killed though so those police officers are definitely going to face justice.

Guns should only be used if an officer is faced with a dangerous situation, there's no justification to open fire on a runner and everyone in their vicinity.

Punish murder with more murder, that's logical.

[Cal.]

They deserve to be murdered tho. The boy didn't.

It's not exactly the worst place to be in this world though, not even close

I would hazard a guess that child murderers - let alone former policemen - aren't exactly going to get an easy ride in prison... quite literally.

and in equal measure

Lol, I love it when people act like Prison is easy, it's like they've got a big neon sign above their head saying 'This person doesn't know what they are talking about.'

You would fall to pieces in prison, pretty much anyone who thinks it would be a walk in the park would not cope with it.
