Adds AW: “Here is one [law-enforcement] news account, ‘clearing’ the officer. It is suspicious to me in that they say Michael allowed them to ‘pat him down’ and then said he was reaching for the gun. Surely Michael knew if he was patted down they would feel the gun and magazine and was not stupid enough to try and pull an unloaded gun on them. Anyway, we are all shocked and saddened. If I hear more I will let you know. His girlfriend has said he would never have tried to reach for or hold on to a gun in that scenario.”
