A father has died after he was Tasered by police while trying to protect his two sons at a basketball game brawl – as four of his children looked on.
Corey McGinnis, 35, was playing basketball with a group of men and his sons, aged 15 and 16, at Crutchfield Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Family members said a fight broke out after the other team lost yet refused to pay the bet they had placed before the game.
In the chaos, shots were fired and when police arrived on the scene, they Tasered three men, including McGinnis, to control the crowd.
The man, who has nine children and was an aspiring football coach, collapsed and was rushed to hospital.
He never regained consciousness and his mother decided to turn off his life support after five days, McGinnis’s niece told Cincinnati.com.
