From [HERE] Mt. Pleasant Police Officer Hess fired at Mr. Henry’s car as he drove away from a disturbance that spilled out of a bar in Thornwood after Pace’s homecoming game. Officer Hess was cleared of criminal wrongdoing by a grand jury. 

Sometime after 1 a.m., a police officer from the nearby village of Pleasantville noticed an unruly crowd in the parking lot outside of Finnegan’s Grill and requested help from the Mount Pleasant Police Department, according to a statement released by the Mount Pleasant police. As officers arrived and tried to subdue the crowd, one of the officers approached Mr. Henry's car that was parked in the fire lane. 

At a press conference today, Mr. Cox's father said that 'a police officer had asked Henry to move his car. As he drove away a police officer jumped in front of the car with his weapon drawn and pointed at the car and then started shooting into the car. Then the officer jumped onto the car and fired more shots through the windshield.' 

"When you think about it this is America. That kind of thing shouldn't happen here. And to handcuff DJ, after he's been shot. And to lay him on the ground face down without giving him any medical treatment. And to be left there like some while wounded animal. On the side of the road. Without medical attention. That just shouldn't happen. That shouldn't happen. I was shocked DJ was shocked. His last words to Brandon were -they shot me they shot me they shot."
