BREAKING: Officer Wilson Breaks Silence, Makes Stunning Announcement After months of silence, Officer Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, has come forward with his first public statement about the incident. According to Wilson, he acted out of fear for his life, as he was pinned in his vehicle. The New York Times reports that forensic analysis has shown that the gun was in fact fire twice in Wilsons car. According to the officer, Brown grabbed for the gun and was shot in the arm. The second shot did not make contact. Browns blood was found on the gun, the interior panel of the car, and on Wilsons uniform. Wilson claims that he was emerging from his vehicle when Brown aggressively shove him back inside. It wasnt until he was being assaulted that he grabbed his fun from his holster. Although this is his first public appearance, Wilson did appear in front of a St. Louis grand jury in September. Legal experts report that Wilson made the voluntary decision to testify although it was not required by law. Most speculate that he hoped his testimony would speak to his state of mind at the time of the incident. If the officer truly perceived imminent danger, Wilson would have been justified to use lethal force to defend himself. The real questions becomes why Wilson made the decision to get out of his vehicle and fire repeatedly at Brown. What do you think about the incident? Do you support Wilson?
