    The article makes no sense.

    Video shows Schurr wrestling with 26-year-old Lyoya before firing his weapon into the back of Lyoya’s head. The video appears to show Lyoya trying to gain control of the officer’s stun gun, with Schurr shouting “Let go of the Taser” before firing the fatal shot.

    But also that:

    He said when Schurr fired the fatal shot, Lyoya was lying face down on the ground.

      Huh. Well, cops stories in these events are always fluid — probably both versions are “the official version” of what happened, or have been.

        Except the first (the fact that the shot was fired during a fight) is based on video footage. The second (that the suspect was down on the ground) is.how the prosecutor explained it. I assume the ex-officer knows the first rule of what to do after you are arrested: shut up and let your lawyer speak on your behalf.
