The original story was he was using his vehicle as a weapon on the officer. Then the officer said he was fleeing and thought he was a danger to the public.
Initially:
“Prior to the brief ICE statement on the incident, Maine U.S. Sen. Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told him the officer opened fire after the man tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents”
Then:
“The ‘vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon,’ the department said.”
Now:
"When asked about the contrasting statements, King told CNN that that’s what the investigation is all about. [He responded] ‘Did this young man actually try to run over an ICE agent or was he in danger of running over other people in the street?.. Was there a reasonable expectation of bodily harm or deadly force to justify this shooting?’”
