(CNN) -- An 11-year-old Mississippi boy who was shot by a police officer after calling 911 for help has been released from the hospital and is recovering, according to his family.

The family is calling for the officer to be fired and charged with the shooting.

Aderrien Murry was shot in the chest by an Indianola Police Department officer early Saturday as the officer responded to a domestic disturbance call at the boy's home, according to his mother, Nakala Murry, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Murry told CNN that the father of another of his children came home at 4 a.m., "furious."

Concerned for her safety, Murry asked Aderrien to call the police.

Murry said the officer who arrived at the home "had his gun drawn on the front door and asked those inside the house to get out." Murry said his son was shot as he turned the corner of a hallway and entered the living room.

"Once he got out of the corner, he was shot," Murry said. "I can't understand why. The same policeman who told him to get out of the house. [Aderrien] did it, and they shot him. He kept asking, 'Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?'" he said.

The shooting happened within what appeared to be "a minute or two" after the officer asked those in the house to leave, Murry said.

The boy was intubated and put on a ventilator at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson after suffering a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and liver laceration from the shooting, according to his mother. He was released from the hospital Wednesday. CNN has contacted the hospital.

Two other children, including Murry's daughter and 2-year-old nephew, were also in the home at the time of the shooting, he said.

Body camera images have not been released

Attorney for Murry's family, Carlos Moore, told CNN that the incident was captured by the officer's body camera.

Moore said his request for the body camera footage was denied due to "an ongoing investigation."

Body camera video of the incident has not been made public.

Moore also said he was told there is video of the incident from a nearby gas station.

The Indianola Police Department confirmed that the officer involved in the shooting is named Greg Capers, but did not provide additional details about the shooting and told CNN that the police chief was not available.

CNN reached out to Capers for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

On Monday night, the Indianola Board of Aldermen voted to place Capers on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, according to the family's attorney.

In a statement over the weekend, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) said the agency is "currently evaluating this critical incident and gathering evidence" and will turn its findings over to the state Attorney General's Office once the investigation is complete.

On Wednesday, MBI spokesperson Bailey Martin declined to answer additional questions, telling CNN in an email, "Because this is an open and ongoing investigation, no further comment will be made."

CNN reached out to the District Attorney's Office for the Fourth Circuit Court and the Mississippi Attorney General's Office for comment.

Murry said that after her son was shot, she placed her hand on the wound to apply pressure while he "sang gospel songs and prayed as he bled to death." The officer, she said, tried to help provide first aid and placed his hand over hers to try to stop Aderrien's bleeding.

When an ambulance arrived, doctors were "very vigilant," he said.

"Aderrien nearly lost his life," Moore said. "It's not okay for a cop to do this and get away with it. The mother asked Aderrien to call the police about her daughter's father. He came out of his room following the instructions of the police and was shot."

Murry said police told her her daughter's father was detained later Saturday, but eventually released because she had not filed a police report against him.

"When was I going to have time to do that? I was in the hospital with my son," she said, reacting to the news of the man's release.

Four days after the shooting, Murry told CNN that "no one came to the hospital from the police station" or spoken to any police investigators about the shooting.

"I'm happy my son is alive," she said through tears.

Moore told CNN she's furious that Capers is still employed by the Indianola Police Department.

"We believe the city and the officer should be held accountable to Aderrien Murray for the damages they have caused," the attorney said.

Moore said they will hold a sit-in protest at Indianola City Hall Thursday morning.

Indianola is a small city, the majority of its population is black, with 31% of its residents below the poverty line. It is located in the Mississippi Delta, about 160 miles north of Jackson, its capital.
