A follow-up tweet from Olivia George says: “We’ve updated the story with some more details.” She adds that a DHS spokesperson stated the agent fired “in fear for his life,” claiming the man drove at officers in an attempt to run them down. However, a D.C. officer testified that no law enforcement officers were in front of the car and that the man merely bumped into another civilian vehicle.
A paragraph from a news article explains that a federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop while working with D.C. police. Lawyers accuse city police of misconduct because the gunfire was omitted from the incident report. A D.C. police officer testified that a superior told him not to record the shooting in court documents, and all charges against the man were later dropped.
A tweet from Olivia George reads: “A Homeland Security agent working with D.C. police shot at a man during a traffic stop. A D.C. police officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting in a court record, lawyers told @EmmaUber7 & me.”
