turned and charged right at me. my first reaction was basically to get out of the way. mallory outweighs officer anderson by more than 100 pounds and wrestles him to the ground out of the camera s view. the first thing i realized when i ended up on my back was definitely this was not a very good place to be with this guy on top of me. and then as officer anderson lives helpless kind of crawled up my body, up to my face and that s when he bit part of my eyebrow off. wedged between the curb and his car and bleeding profusely, officer anderson is struggling to free himself. and i was doing the best i could to just remain conscious. everything around me was
my job at that point was to get the suspect to start fighting me, to get him off the officer. meanwhile, officer anderson is fighting for his life. i was basically only able to see shadows. i decided i was going to have to shoot him before i went unconscious, and that s when i shot mr. mallory. i didn t so much hear the first felt shot, i felt it. i felt it going through my chest. weekly mistakenly believes that he might have been shot. at that point, kind of freak out mode trying to figure out, okay, who just shot who. and then i pulled the trigger a second time, and then it seemed like right after that, he was just gone. he just disappeared. get down on the ground! get on the ground! shot twice in the chest, mallory stumbles in front of the cruiser and collapses. i saw officer anderson out of the corner of my eye, and i was shocked to see him up and
starting to get kind of dark. and that s when i heard another gentleman run up to the area and began throwing punches as well to him. out of nowhere a man runs around in front of officer s anderson s cruiser and starts fighting mallory. as it turns out it s a plain clothed detective from nearby east moline, illinois, as luck would have it, detective jim weekly is on his way to meet his wife for lunch when he sees the incident unfold. i m slowing up making sure the officer goes wrong. and that s when i see the glistening of the taser wires. detective weekly race ls races around the front of the cruiser and is shocked by what he sees. get the [ bleep ] off him! the first thing i see is every officer s worst nightmare. i see the officer on his back. i see the suspect punching him very fast and violently to the face. without hesitation, he joins in the melee.
at the cafe had been assaulted by one of the clients that had come in, and then immediately after they attacked, the suspect left the area. soon anderson gets an update that he s two blocks away from where the suspect is spotted. at that time as i turned the corner i was able to see the suspect walking up the sidewalk to the centennial bridge. officer anderson gets out of his patrol car and approaches the suspect, later identified as tyrone mallory. when i approached the suspect in passing to come over the rail to the roadway, that s when i noticed he had bloody knuckles, so that was definitely the person i was supposed to be looking for. he at first refused to come over the rail, was noncompliant. do it now! it reached that point that i had kind of mentally drawn in my head that this is where i m going to deploy the taser. get down on your knees. officer anderson uses his taser. get down on your knees! but it misfires. and then that s when he
walking towards mallory. at that point officer anderson kind of collapsed on top of mallory. first thing i noticed was his missing eyebrow, and my concern at that point was with his injuries and making sure he was okay. are you okay? i don t know. backup units arrive on scene. officer anderson and mallory are transported to the hospital. anderson is treated for a concussion and his eyebrow is stitched up. mallory dies from his gunshot wounds. an internal investigation concludes that mallory s shooting was justified. since the incident, officer anderson and detective weekly have become good friends. anderson knows had weekly not stopped and assisted, he might not have survived.
