What are the odds he really did have his hands up? Less than 1% would be my guess.

OKLAHOMA CITY – New details and conflicting reports are surfacing following a deadly and controversial shooting involving Oklahoma City police officers and a suspect.

Authorities say the shooting happened after Jerry Nowlin following a traffic stop near N.E. 26th and Kelley on Sunday night.

Officials claim after crashing his car, Nowlin pointed a handgun at police, who then opened fire.

However, people who claim to have witnessed the shooting tell a very different story.

“When he was caught, he put his hands up,” said Tyrell Bagby.

“He had his hands up,” said Courtnei Thomas. “They shot him in the back.”

“He had his hands up and he turned to run and they shot him in the back,” said Derrick Parker.

Cory Nowlin didn’t witness the shooting, but says his brother died after being shot three times.

“They shot him in the back of the leg twice and in the back of the head,” said Nowlin. […]

Still, those who live at the apartment complex say police had no right to end his life.

“They had no reason to shoot him. They shot him just to shoot him,” said Thomas.

“That officer was tired and that’s why they shot him. If you can’t catch him, shoot him,” said Parker.
