A tech entrepreneur in Texas wasn’t given ample time to drop a rifle he was carrying on his own front porch before he was fatally shot by police last month, his devastated family told NBC News.
Rajan “Raj” Moonesinghe, 33, had returned from a trip and suspected his home had been burglarized during the early-morning hours of Nov. 15. That’s when he held a rifle outside his front door and was encountered by an Austin police officer who quickly shot him while almost simultaneously ordering Moonesinghe to drop the gun, relatives said.
ok now my 1st thoughts were that the officer didnt know if Raj was defending his home or that maybe he was the perp then after viewing the body cam video officer shot as he said DROP THE GUN not even allowing Raj to say or act
you can read it all here and see the video all of this was on NBC NEWS
