MR RILEY
Mr Chairperson, the impression that is created from his evidence is that at the time when he fired, he believed that he was firing at police.  I get the impression from his evidence that he did not and there was obviously cross-examination on this particular aspect, he didn't check to make sure whether it was the police or not, because at the time that he was there, they were waiting for the police and his response was almost instinctive in the sense that he then proceeded to fire shots in the belief that he was in fact firing at the police at the time.  It is so that he was asked whether he made sure that it was a police vehicle, whether he made sure whether the people were in fact going to fire shots back at him, or going to do something to him, whether he made sure as to the identity of the persons.  His version of the events in that regard is that he didn't think of those things at that particular point in time, he just acted, shall I say almost automatically when he in fact fired the shots.
