When additional officers arrived on the scene, footage captured Stockley returning the rifle to his police car and reaching into a duffle bag. After Smith’s body was removed from his car, Stockley went into the driver’s seat.

So it happens. I've heard many times people accuse them of keeping one handy for that reason?!?

This is not unusual. There is no doubt in my mind it could have happened in Charlotte. Stinky The Clown Sep 2016 #167

Damn. lonestarnot Sep 2016 #164

One question" What was she yelling at Kieth not to do? tonyt53 Sep 2016 #2

Get out of the car in front of the police uponit7771 Sep 2016 #5

But she had been yelling at him to get out of the car before that. Chemisse Sep 2016 #148

The police were yelling also but I can not make it out. Were they demanding Keith get out riversedge Sep 2016 #152

I think she was yelling that at the cops not to do it (shoot him), not at her husband. Stinky The Clown Sep 2016 #7

Nope. She clearly said "don't do it Kieth". tonyt53 Sep 2016 #9

No argument. I need to watch the video again. Stinky The Clown Sep 2016 #11

Not necessarily Shankapotomus Sep 2016 #95

Her voice inflection did not indicate that. Don't do it Keith. No hesitation or pause. tonyt53 Sep 2016 #96

They lived there, I believe. Chemisse Sep 2016 #149

You've asked this question several times now, what do you think she's saying? Dem2 Sep 2016 #44

No, I don't have an opinion. I just don't jump to conclusions. Yeah, I am obsessed with that. tonyt53 Sep 2016 #69

Do you think his TBI had him depressed and he was instigating them so he could achieve Dem2 Sep 2016 #90

Again, not jumping to conclusions. But his family was there the whole time. tonyt53 Sep 2016 #97

Yeah that or gloves. jmg257 Sep 2016 #10

There were two object that were dropped, not just the gloves that were picked up. uponit7771 Sep 2016 #14

I see 1 pair dropped, picked up, then a second pair dropped. jmg257 Sep 2016 #19

Maybe the gloves were dropped to give cover for bending over and planting something? Mamajami Sep 2016 #76

Thanks I'll check it out! jmg257 Sep 2016 #79

That was my take--gloves dropped to cover the gun planting. nt tblue37 Sep 2016 #138
