The senior officer drew the gun and the front wheels of the car crossed the broken line at the eastern end of Dow Street, “Don’t you dare drive that car here?” He said.

Samantha Brown said to the court, “The senior officer walked from Dow Street to the east with a fiery weapon rising in front of his firearms, which directed him to return three times.

As the second man went forward, he returned to Ford, pointed to the senior officer’s gun to Henry, and published a car on the radio that he was trying to run us here ”.

While the Officer was assembled the SUV path, the front passenger stabbed the side tire with a knife and fasten the left leg between the bumper and came to rest in front of the fence.

“As the officer stood up, he pointed to his fiery gun and fired four times from Ford’s windshield, Brown Brown said.

“Five seconds have passed between the 10th direction of the senior Constable and the discharge of the fiery weapon.”

Henry died at the scene, Senior Officer was taken to hospital with leg injuries.

The passenger had a fiery wound and was then taken to hospital with the 39 -year -old man who was accused.
