He shot while he was behind the vehicle
According to information from the autopsy in the vehicle driven by 0 16-year-old, a hole from a gun bullet was found in the rear windshield as well as in the headrest in the driver's seat.
It appears that the police officer who shot was behind the vehicle he was pursuing. He claimed that the vehicle attempted to ram the second motorcycle of the DIA team involved in the pursuit that was in front of the vehicle. In order to immobilize it he fired two shots as he said, one in the air for intimidation and another against the vehicle.
The second shot as it turned out was straight at the driver and behind the perpetrator which cannot be justified as defensive by the police officer.
