Sergeant HUMPHRIES told the officers to put on protective rubber gloves because the suspect was already bleeding. KOZAKOWSKI could not see the blood at this point, but heard other officers say to glove up because the suspect was bleeding. KOZAKOWSKI, Sergeant HUMPHRIES and Officer TELOSA walked up to where there were approximately 4 or 5 units abreast. I showed KOZAKOWSKI a sketch of the incident on a piece of paper which he described as an accurate depiction of the incident scene. Officer KOZAKOWSKI used a blue pen to label where he parked his unit #819, and where he and Sergeant HUMPHRIES assembled the shield. He then labeled where he moved up to the rear of unit 864.

Officer KOZAKOWSKI could see the full driver side of the truck. He described the suspect as bobbing his head or moving around slightly inside the truck. KOZAKOWSKI heard officers yelling, “He has a gun. He has a gun. .” KOZAKOWSKI then heard officers yelling, “Drop the gun. Drop the gun,” for approximately 15-20 seconds, maybe longer.

Drop the gun.” The suspect exited the truck in a crouch position.
