A horrifying video shows Austin tech entrepreneur Rajan 'Raj' Moonesinghe being shot dead by local police as he inspected the perimeter of his home for an intruder with a rifle in his hands.
Moonesinghe, 33, a successful tech entrepreneur who had moved to the area about five years ago, was killed on the front porch of his home in a wealthy South Austin neighborhood on November 15. As he lay dying, he said the words: 'It wasn't me.'
At around 12.30am, Moonesinghe told a neighbor that someone was in his house and he was going to call 911, the WSJ reported.
Police arrived on the scene just five minutes later, moments after Moonesinghe fired two shots into his own living room - and fired the four shots that killed the businessman.
Across the street from his home, a private security guard for his neighbor had already called the police to report what Moonesinghe was doing.
The guard said in a call to a dispatcher, 'He almost seems to be scared of something inside his house.'
'He's pointing the rifle at the interior of his home,' he said, before Moonesinghe called into his living room before firing shots inside.

Final words AFTER being fatally shot?
You can always count on the cops. (For what? I’m not sure.)
I don’t think if I were outside my house with possibly a criminal inside that I would fire shots into the house after calling 9/11. Seems like inviting disaster to be walking around outside with a long gun.
But I wasn’t there.
“Police arrived on the scene just five minutes later, moments after Moonesinghe fired two shots into his own living room - and fired the four shots that killed the businessman.
Why do they write this way????
His last gasping words were
“Burn in hell!!! Thank you, please come again”
Yeah, that sentence gave me a headache.
Grammar is NOT A PART OF JOURNALISM SCHOOL....................
A person doesn’t always die immediately with a fatal gunshot.
I am willing, without knowing the whole story, to give the cops a little slack.
You get a 9/11 call that there is an armed assailant, so you send a car. On the way, there are reports that shots are being fired.
You show up, and you see a guy with a rifle shooting into the house. That just cannot turn out well. I fully expect the cops to think that is the perp firing the gun. What are they going to do with a perp shooting a long gun, yell “Stop, we have you covered?”
I can’t imagine he had family in the house and firing into it. That would be insane.
Austin is run by Democrats.
Democrats hate guns.
Democrat operated cops will do as their masters bid them do.
Case closed.
You can be fatally shot, but not be dead yet.

Moonesinghe fires two shots just as the cops roll up the street. The cops shot Moonesinghe from the street, fairly far away. Moonesinghe had an AR in his hands but did not point it at the cops. He came around a corner with his AR at low ready and the cops opened fire immediately.
All in all poor judgement on both sides.
That has to be one of the most ignorant things I’ve seen on FR. And that’s a high bar.
Crawl back under your rock.
Any chance this is a new variation on “suicide by cop”?
He was fatally shot but died after getting the words out. I see what you are saying, but it makes sense.
So when are the Indian-Americans going to start rioting, looting and burning down Austin?
Yeah, people don't always die instantly from fatal gunshots like they do in the movies.
Sometimes death comes agonizingly slow and they get to say a few words while they're waiting for the Grim Reaper to arrive.
I watched a video of a robber in Brazil who coughs up blood for a good five minutes after he's shot by an undercover cop before he finally expires.
If I thought there’s an armed bad guy in my home, I’m getting far away.
