From [HERE] DALLAS — Conflicting stories are emerging surrounding Saturday's killing of an armed man by a Dallas police officer. Police justify the shooting as self-defense, although witnesses report the 21-year-old suspect was shot in the back as he ran from the officer.
John Husband III (left), 21, of Dallas, was killed Saturday afternoon outside an apartment complex in the 3600 block of Folklore Trail in Oak Cliff. "He [the officer] shot him in the back," said Xavier Bryant, 22.
Bryant, Husband, and a third person were visiting a friend’s apartment Saturday afternoon, when — Bryant said — the officer pulled up behind their car as they parked. It’s unclear why the officer approached the car; police only say it was a "traffic stop."
