The mother of a Nothern Virginia man mistakenly killed by police filed a $10 million suit in federal court in Alexandria yesterday against top Fairfax County and Arlington County police and other officials of both counties.
Naomi N. Hughes contended in her suit that police from Fairfax and Arlington "fired indiscriminately" at her son, Stanley Wayne Hughes, last Feb. 12 as she and Hughes attempted to escape from an apartment where a man wanted by police was hiding.
Stanley Hughes was killed in the hallway of his apartment of 3332 Lockheed Blvd. in the Mount Vernon section of the county, according to the suit.
