SMITH Approved By: <br />Date of Report:7/1/15 Date: 07/08/2015 <br />Page 13 of 24 <br />SWEET: Sure, his head jerked back and then went forward, uh, he started <br />breathing it looked like he knocked himself out he started breathing *** <br />irregular manner like his head was going up and down ***. That’s what I <br />saw. <br />SMITH: Did anything happen with the vehicle after that happened? <br />SWEET: Yeah, the gas pedal…he immediately stepped on the gas pedal and <br />fortunate it was in neutral so and *** as he let off the gas pedal is when I <br />think he was gathering himself, uh, immediately took it off gas pedal then <br />we went to check on him. <br />SMITH: So after the, the initial gun shot was there any indication either, I know <br />you observed it, was there any indication that you recall from other <br />officers saying it was him that shot, an officer that shot or anything like <br />that or was it pretty clear that the suspect had shot himself? <br />SWEET: Clear that the suspect shot himself. <br />SMITH: Uh… And initially you guys said that you started to approach between the <br />self-inflicted gunshot and your guys’ initial approach to check on him <br />approximately how long do think that was in between? <br />SWEET: After he shot himself and the gas was off the vehicle, uh, that was <br />probably a minute and then we went to check on him. <br />SMITH: And then how close do you think you got before you guys actually saw <br />that he was still moving and retreated back to your, your units?
