“I don’t know where the entry point is he won’t tell me where he shot him,” a woman is heard saying.
“I’m trying to protect my daughter and my wife,” Deputy Hash said on the phone. “People are hostile right now.”
As sirens blaze louder and louder, one of the witnesses runs over to him and says, the video records, “Nobody is hostile. Don’t you (expletive) say that. Nobody is hostile.”
Once two officers arrived on the scene, they tried to help Walker.
A preliminary investigation showed that Hash’s shot was not fired through the windshield and that its wiper was torn off. The report said that the metal portion of the wiper was used to break the windshield of the truck in multiple spots.
At a news conference, Fayetteville Police Chief Gina Hawkins clarified rumors about the incident.
She said the pickup truck had a “black box” that would have registered if the vehicle struck “any person or thing.” She also noted that there was only one eyewitness, who has told law enforcement that Walker was not hit by the truck. The North Carolina Bureau of Investigation has been brought on to review Hash’s conduct.
The FBI Public Affairs Specialist, Shelley Lynch told ABC 11, “We are aware of the shooting death investigation in Fayetteville and are in regular contact with local and state authorities. If, in the course of the North Carolina SBI investigation, information comes to light of a potential federal violation, the FBI is prepared to investigate.”
