Lee Merritt, and her family listens in the back. appears to have been pointing a replica handgun at the officer when she was shot, according to body camera footage released by the Police Department on Friday.
As the officer attempts to stop the vehicle for a possible speeding violation, it appears to intentionally collide with his patrol car before making an abrupt U-turn into oncoming traffic and coming to a stop facing the wrong way, Radus said. The call was received by Anaheim police about an hour and a half after Williams was shot, according to investigators.
Merritt said he met Friday with Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer and Fullerton Police Chief Robert Dunn to view the body camera video. He described the footage to Williams’ family members because they were not mentally prepared to watch it.
