No one is talking about the officers fighting to restrain Pretti. I wonder if, in the process of restraining Pretti, they discovered the gun. I imagine the officer in that discovery announced, “He’s got a gun!” That warning caused the officers to watch every move Pretti made. Did Pretti reach for the gun, provoking an officer to shoot before Pretti got a round off?
PRETTY SURE MOST OFFICERS WOULD JUST SAY “GUN”
ALL OTHER OFFICERS WOULD KNOW THE MEANING OF THAT ONE WORD.
