“The caller said the police were on scene and the man fired again, police said.”
One would need to see the body cam footage to ascertain what really happened. If the police show up and you are firing rounds you will likely be taken down as was this guy.
They did show the body cam video, the cop started shooting before he even finished saying “drop your weapon”.
Or they could wait while someone shoots people and sort it out later.
Talk about a difficult job.
