According to testimony, Scott was ‘slow’, and had trouble maintaining his ‘balance’. He was ‘slow’ at answering the questions for the COSTCO CARD APPLICATION.
Scott walked out of the store (and was on his way to put his guns away in the car), when one of the cops tapped him on the shoulder, then stepped back and started yelling.
Scott turned around the COPS testified that he didn’t react QUICKLY enough. Now, they already suspected he was on some type of drugs. So WHY would they expect him to react QUICKLY?
The officer says that Mr. Scott POINTED the gun at him. Witnesses have stated that he reached for his waistband, and he was immediately shot.
It’s a miracle no customers were hit. I guess the officer’s who were close enough to grab Mr. Scott as he left the store and take him to the ground found it hard to miss. Especially since the last shot of SEVEN was fired after he was dead/dying on the ground.
And that last shot is the reason why WE will never see the video footage.
Sound likely? Nope, not to me either. And if Scott was trying to commit suicide, he wouldn't have pulled the holster...or if he accidentally did, he wouldn't be able to access the trigger, let alone rack the slide.
Based on the physical evidence - a Kimber 45 with hammer down in its holster on the ground - I just don't see how Scott could have been trying or even acting like he had a desire to shoot the cops.
