The details are still sketchy on this one, but they don't look pretty.

Reports from multiple witnesses contradict the official police report, and one of Scott's relatives is giving a very chilling narrative of what happened:

Scott apparently had a Concealed Carry License and was legally carrying. Some liberal Costco employee reportedly saw he had a gun, freaked out, and called the cops reporting a gunman loose in the store. He seems to have been attempting to surrender his handgun, which the cops interpreted as him pulling out his weapon and opened fire.

Let’s riot!

Eric Holder’s Justice Department will not rest until the guilty policemen are brought to justice.

Looks like it might be a while before a reliable report on what really happened comes out. Right now, no one knows what really happened. Too many conflicting reports.

Yeah this is my costco, I go there all the time. I also CCW in there.

I had no idea Costco was so anti CCW.. but I suspect this was a nervous employee who called the cops and shouted “Man with a gun”

There were reports he was “trashing the store” which I find hard to buy because eye witnesses say the store manager came over the loud speaker and told everyone to evacuate, yet no one knew why. Had the guy been freaking out they would have known.

The other report I heard from a witness of the event, was he just walked out, got shouted at to “drop it” and when he made a move to get the gun out of the holster so he could drop it they opened up on him.

Costco has cameras all over the place at this location.. so it should be interesting to see if we will ever see the videos.

Witnesses offer differing accounts. Cops all say the same thing.

They wouldn’t have rehearsed their stories, would they?

Nahhhhhhh

Read the entire account. Seems Costco bed-wetting Liberal saw gun, told police a mad man was running berserk in store. Cops came and shot the guy without provocation. The cops and the bed-wetter need to go to prison for a long, long time.

Kudos to the reported for doing what sounds like a through job of interviewing witnesses. Regardless of what went on in the stores, it sounds like the cops screwed up big time by confronting this man when he was just going out with a crowd which was told to leave the store.

Had he actually been dangerous, there would have been a lot more collateral damage than just him. The store better have videotapes to support what they say was going on inside. It just doesn't add up.

Handy way to intimidate and dissuade citizens from carrying if being seen with one leads to them being terminated with extreme prejudice by the police...

Cops killing more citizens. Go grocery shopping and get shot dead by gun-ho nitwits.

Costco should be held fully responsible as having employed the officers to gun down a lawful citizen; if it had been a Gangs’ta it would have been profiling and no one would have done anything, cause it’s okay to kill cracka’s.

Although the Officer’s and Department should bear some responsibility; I would like to hear both the 911 recording and the dispatch audio, and see the individual self-written citizen reports plus Officer Reports then decide.

I want to hear the tape to the police or 911... I want to see the video tapes of the guy “tearing up the store”...

If this was over-hyped by a Costco Employee resulting in a man's death, he needs to go to jail. If the police “acted stupidly”, then they need to go to jail as well...

I legally CC all the time and this is THE one scenario I fear the most.

Right, I'm sure this guy would tear the whole store apart.

If the cops were non-white they were probably racists. Get Holder on the phone stat.

Isn’t this exactly the kind of thing Obama is worried about? Guy goes down to the corner store with his family and gets gunned down by cops who profiled him unjustly.

If it is as it appears, any effort on the part of the PD to cover this up should be met with criminal prosecution. I was almost shot by a nervous cop in a traffic stop in Arlington, TX because I did as he said and went into my glove box for proof of insurance. My complaint to his superiors was met with condemnation of me for not appreciating the job our police officers do. A week or two I later to see a news report that the same cop had shot a sleeping man in the front seat of his car. The victim as an illegal and they managed to get away with firing the cop. A year later he was on the news because in his capacity as a Dallas constable serving a summons, he shot a killed a guy who came to his front door ‘brandishing’ a butter knife. Cops do themselves no service by covering for the idiots among them.

I thought protocal for police was to disarm a “suspect” themselves so this kind of thing doesn’t happen?

One witness interviewed Saturday and three others interviewed Sunday by the Review-Journal gave accounts that differed from what police described.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! A little extrajudicial punishment from The Only Ones.
