Novelist Stephen Hunter does know a lot about guns. This is his take. The shot pattern indicates the officer was stopping a charge.

To answer the author's question - pretty easily. Brown sucker punches Wilson while he is getting out of his patrol car. Brown then retreats. Wilson orders Brown to freeze as Brown is retreating. Brown then charges Wilson and Wilson shoots him 6 times.

As to CNN dispelling the 'myth' that Wilson has a broken eye socket, there have been multiple reports on that from both sides. We won't know conclusively what is true until the medical reports are released - which will occur presumably after the grand jury has reached a decision.

“Novelist Stephen Hunter does know a lot about guns.”

A lot of people were posting similar the day the autopsy photos came out .... weeks before SH wrote it.
