tackled a man who had been with Wilson. The chief said they took decisive action to stop a potentially deadly shooting in an area teeming with visitors. Contee confirmed that version was initially told to detectives by the person involved in the encounter, but he cautioned that it may not be accurate. He said the ongoing investigation could reveal “something very different from what was told to us that night.”Police said that during or after the confrontation with the men from D.C., it appears Wilson took out a gun and began waving it around as he walked along the Wharf area.
The next two videos police released are from two officers who responded to the gunshot. They run up behind Bagshaw, who by this time is on his knees, his arms crossed and above his head.At least one of the officers has his gun drawn on Bagshaw. That officer yells, “Man with a weapon. Drop the f---ing gun now.” He then yells, “Get on the f---ing ground.”
