The Marine pulled into the school, possibly accidentally hit a gate, damages his nice clean looking SUV, the deputy pulls in behind him, he's already pissed his vehicle was slightly damaged, walks off, ignored the deputy's command, walked back, got in his vehicle, ignoring the deputy due to being pissed off, and the deputy opens fire thought the driver side window.
Pure 100% speculation on my part.
Speaking of PURE speculation - I wonder what he was doing at 4:30 in the morning at the school with his kids. Perhaps he has an older daughter, who he finds out is at a kegger party in the woods by the school, mom is at work and he doesn’t want to leave the other kids at home alone, and leaves to go find the daughter. As I said - PURE conjecture, but would make a good movie script.
Prayers for the girls and this man’s family.
I think your speculation is pretty close to mine. I don’t think the marine was speeding. I think he was just going to the track with his two kids like he’d done before. A cop who was “writing reports” at 4:30 in the morning on the high school lot, spotted a suspicious black man driving onto the property. The marine maybe hit the gate and was inspecting the damage when the cop drives up and pulls his gun. The marine takes umbrage at being hassled in front of his two kids- perhaps even says a few nasty comments and then decides to get in his car and drive away- and the cop just shoots him in a split second of anger, indignation, panic or whatever. The cop then makes up the whole speeding, leaving the scene of an accident and endangerment bs.
