Nothing in that article about why the officer shot. Is there backstory on this?

Real journalism means not assuming the reader knows the storybof the original event, but filling in the pertinent details required for complete context.
This is a very poorly written article, like most today. Real journalism died years ago. Todays crop doesnt have a clue how to write news.
The backstory was a media sensation a month or two ago.
Double check this, but the story involved:
— a less than competent victim
— a gun that may or may not have been present in the perp’s hand and not on video
— the officer’s shout to don’t move
— the victim’s disobedience
— a girlfriend with a cell phone camera and video stream to social media
The generic "feared for my life".
