“We want the public to see what our officers go thru, this was 9:40 in the morning. Our officers are trained to subdue the suspects. The individual in the driver’s seat lunged at him and the second officer arrived at the scene and observed that the suspect attacked the officer, that is why he leaped to assist the first officer and didn’t activate his body-worn video. Even though the Rite Aid video didn’t cover the entire wrestling on the ground, the video shows the entire scene, both guns were fired by the officers. Three shots were fired total, we found three bullet casings at the scene. We do not believe Fagan’s weapon was fired. The armed suspect had several addresses in the area, Rosedale etc. The vehicle was in the area of the Horse Shoe Casino robbery at the time and was under investigation.”
