'It's hard to watch': Victim speaks out after Bowie police officer indicted for firing shot at himOn Sept. 12 at 8 a.m., Bowie Police Sergeant Robert Warrington came across a stopped vehicle with hazards on the left shoulder near John Hanson Highway and got out of his cruiser to help.
"Are you here to help her?" Sgt. Warrington asks the man.
"No, she's taking me to the hospital," he responded.
Moments later, he fires a single shot at the passenger who says he was getting a hat blown onto the road.
"Oh my God, what did you do? What did you do?" the driver screams out.
"He had a gun!" Warrington says.
"No, I don't have a gun!" the man shouts, lying on the roadway.
He fell to the ground but was not hit by the bullet. The shot hits a passing vehicle but doesn't injure anyone. Immediately, Warrington starts apologizing.
"Why did you do that?" the woman screams.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Warrington is heard saying. https://www.fox5dc.com/news/bowie-police-officer-indicted-after-firing-shots-unarmed-man

(199 posts)2. Attempted Murder
When you shoot at someone it is an attempt to murder them. The victim is just lucky the cop missed or did not empty the entire clip on him. Cops who are scared to death of everyone need to quit.

(4,725 posts)3. Read the top of the screen at the beginning of the video. It does NOT say
"Attempted". It says "...charged with murder".
And I do know the difference between murder and attempted murder. Thank you for your incisive comment.
