background. cnn s ryan young joining me now. rhine, you ll try to explain this because deputy bates is insisting this accidental shooting could have happened to anyone. is that right? that s right, jake. in fact we watched that video over and over. across the country, tasers and guns are usually separated on officers and we watched that video, and he showed a bullet-proof vest usually have his taser on his chefrt and gun either here on the side or somewhere in the back. but he said in the heat of the moment he grabbed here and not up here. after intense scrutiny reserve sheriff deputy robert bates finally talks about the split-second act where he pulled his gun instead of pulling his taser. the shot he fired led to a man s death. oh my god. what has happened? the laser light is the same on each weapon. i saw the light and i squeezed the trigger, and then realized i had dropped the gun.
