On Sept. 12 at 8 a.m., came across a stopped vehicle with hazards on the left shoulder near John Hanson Highway and got out of his cruiser to help.

“Are you here to help her?” Sgt. Warrington asks the man.

“No, she’s taking me to the hospital,” he responded.

Moments later, he fires a single shot at the passenger who says he was getting a hat blown onto the road.

“Oh my God, what did you do? What did you do?” the driver screams out.

“He had a gun!” Warrington says.

“No, I don’t have a gun!” the man shouts, lying on the roadway.

    Officials want to be clear the man who is shot was never charged, never arrested and has fully cooperated with the investigation.

    This is apparently something that needs to be said when talking about shooting unarmed people.
