"We can say with certainty Mr. Bradford brandished a gun during the seconds following the gunshots"

Wonder what "brandished" means in this context? Was he pointing it forward in the shooting position or would this include holding it in the ready position with the muzzle pointing at the ground?

“We can say with certainty Mr. Bradford brandished a gun during the seconds following the gunshots”

...

Does this mean the police and the officer that shot Bradford was on scene within seconds, or do they mean 900 seconds?

Probably too much adrenaline to realize he could look like a bad guy to responders...hard to fault them or him....been around long enough to know not to have a weapon in-hand when cops are responding to a shooting.

Tragic set of circumstances.
