Why shoot the therapist if the autistic person was holding the toy truck?
The police union president says that the officer shot at the autistic man and missed, hitting the therapist.
This is about to be covered on World News Tonight. I wonder how they will cover it.
The officer’s statement:
“Meanwhile, the officer involved in the shooting released a statement Thursday afternoon saying, “I took this job to save lives and help people. I did what I had to do in a split second to accomplish that and hate to hear others paint me as something I’m not.”
“The officer has not been identified, but police said he is a 30-year-old Hispanic man who has been with the police department for four years.”
Why not?
