Eyewitness account posted on one of the articles:
“Folks we watched this while waiting in the turn lane. From what I viewed the slow moving but irritated homeless man was absolutely murdered. I could have restrained him with one arm. To be watching something that seemed sorta funny be turned into a shooting......I am not comfortable as a tax paying and law abiding citizen in Tacoma anymore. maybe time to relocate our business as this type of event is now all to common in Tacoma.”

The original article has been pulled by the local newspaper. A relevant part of that article was copy / pasted by a homeless advocate, so it wouldn’t go down the Memory Hole:
“The man seemed to be running in slow motion — possibly drunkenly — as he attempted to flee, Graham said. That’s when the officer fired four shots, several of which appeared to hit the man, she added.”
