Is there any follow-up to this? Do we know why the guy opened fire?
I found several articles about the incident, but they were all written right after it happened and don't provide any details about his motivation.
I have been searching for follow-up stories, too.
I am also surprised to not find anything pertaining to a motive.
What I HAVE BEEN finding, are a lot of very poorly written, ill informed, if not downright wrong stories.
This is particularly noticeable after watching the entire video. Almost every article that was posted locally and/or nationally got some of the critical details incorrect.
Some examples:
- Incorrect info on who was in pursuit of the white GMC pickup after the shots were fired.
- Incorrect info on who made the stop.
- Incorrect info on where the pursuit ended.
- Incorrect info on who made the arrest.
- Incorrect info regarding the officers wounds.
- Incorrect info on how many weapons were found in the GMC pickup versus the ones that were secured at the scene in his parents vehicle/camper.
- Several different stories regarding the reason that she had decided to pull him over in the first place (e.g. he was following a vehicle too closely, he was speeding, she was making a drug task force interdiction, etc).
- And so on . . .
Edited to add:
- I have only found one article that supports this claim, so it may or may not be true, but it has been reported that when the officer was at the hospital . . . they treated her eye wound . . . and they removed her bullet-proof vest. That was when they discovered that a bullet had apparently struck her vest . . . and grazed her neck. But that same article did not mention the wounds to her hands?!?!
