Graham, 44, an East Side resident, said she’d been driving her 16-year-old daughter to Home Depot when the shooting happened. The two were stopped at a red light in Graham’s black SUV — about three traffic lanes away — when the cop stopped to confront the panhandler.Graham had her window down, but couldn’t hear what the officer was saying to the man.“I don’t know why they were talking,” she said. “Then all of a sudden, (the officer) yelled something and she tried Tasing him, but missed. When the guy started to run away, (the officer) immediately threw the Taser down, pulled her gun out and shot.”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.“I didn’t see anything in his hands,” Graham added. “I didn’t see him do anything physical or threatening. I’ve just never seen anything like that before in my life — a person just getting shot like that. It was just heartbreaking.” - See more at: http://thedailyworld.com/sections/newswire/northwest/panhandler-shot-injured-after-charging-tacoma-police-officer.html#sthash.2hYxIvbm.dpuf
That’s three eyewitnesses saying approximately that it was a bad shoot. And you have to dig for that. The local paper has scrubbed the original article off of their website.
