In reply to the discussion: I have some questions about the Shaw shooting [View all]scarystuffyo
(733 posts)I just read that link and I didn't see anything about determining the firearm used?
You're talking about this guy
Lavell Boyd, 47, lives in the neighborhood and said he happened upon the scene as he was going to a store on Shaw to pick up a sandwich. Boyd said he heard 14 or 15 shots as he was in his car.
When I pulled up I saw the cop standing over him (Myers) then he pointed the gun at everyone else telling everyone to get back while he was searching for another clip, Boyd said
He didn't see the shooting but was there seconds after.
It would take a lot of things for this officer to devise this plan of retrieving and planting a gun
Going up the hill and firing into the pavement at the bottom of the hill to make it look
like MR Myers fired at him with crowds of people seconds away including this guy who says he heard the shots in
his car and was there pretty much seconds later.
It just doesn't sound plausible that the officer could have done all this in this short of a time
Also please let us not forget that MR Myers had a history of carrying a illegal weapon
This is MR Myers in the lower right
