“After stopping his car the war veteran exited the vehicle and reached for his cane in the tray of his ute. As he reaches over the officer yells ‘Sir’ a few times before shooting at the elderly man six times, hitting him once in the chest. The officer then tells the 70-year-old to ‘drop the gun’ – when he replies that it is a walking stick the officer swears and races over to help his victim. Sheriff Bruce Ryan described the shooting as ‘unfortunate’ in a statement and defended the officer involved. ‘It does appear, at this time, that Deputy Knox’s actions were an appropriate response to what he reasonably believed to be an imminent threat to his life,’ he said.”
