Examples:
"I saw Scott's shirt fly up and a gun come out," she testified. "After I heard the shot, I ran back inside and prayed I didn't get shot in the back."
Shopper Dolly Rand gave a similar account. The officer was yelling at Scott to get on the ground when Scott reached to his right side and pulled out a dark object, she said.
"It was going straight up toward the police officer," Rand said.
Steve Albright, who said he has a concealed weapons permit and has gone armed to Costco, was with his wife and two young children when he noticed Scott standing in front of an officer. Scott made an "intentional smooth move" toward his hip, which Albright recognized as someone drawing a gun.
"It was enough of a threat to leave," he said, explaining how he never saw Scott pull a weapon because he quickly spun around and headed back into the store with his family.
Some witnesses say he reached rapidly for the gun, others slow - but I own the same type holster, and you doo NOT rapidly pull it out of your waistband.
And since it was impossible for him to fire without racking the slide, he KNEW he couldn't shoot - so he obviously wasn't trying to outdraw the already draw guns of the LVPD, was he?
Here is the picture that shows Scott's gun lying on the ground after the shooting:
