“Each officer independent of each other related that they felt that Mr. Walker had turned and was motioning and moving into a firing position," he said.
Police said more than 60 wounds were found on Walker's body but further investigation will be needed to determine exactly how many rounds the eight officers fired and how many times Walker was hit. Officers provided aid, and one can be heard saying he still had a pulse, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, Mylett said.
The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard practice in such cases.
Oh here we go again,
60 wounds. Pathetic 🐷
Yea….when he fires at you during the pursuit, pretty reasonable to fear he’ll shoot again. 🤷🏻♂️.
Stop minimizing the horror and injustice of this. They fired at him 90 times.
Yes but as a black mother of 2 men he should of just replied to the traffic stop not a high speed chase and again my condolences but he could of still been alive
He wasn’t “unarmed” when he shot at officers from his vehicle.
Just FYI. He shot at cops TWICE during a police chase that lasted 8-miles. They thought he had the same weapon he was firing at police officer still in his hands, when he turned toward police after running out the passenger side of the car. If he is innocent why he shot at cops?
No reason for that JUSTSAD
Why did he shot at the Police.
Exactly how many bullets are in a hail?

Body camera footage shows fatal police shooting of Jayland WalkerAuthorities said Walker was unarmed at the time of the shooting, but a shot appeared to have come from his vehicle during a pursuit, and officers said they feared he was preparing to fire. Running from the cops and taking a shot at them doesn't go well. I'd say this is Bonnie & Clyde level ambush killing but without the ambush. Did he shoot at police or not? CBS do your job!
