Bland says as Hammond slowed his car and reached downward, toward the car's gear shift, someone shouted that he had a gun. The two gunshots that killed Hammond, striking him in the shoulder and torso, were mysteriously left out of the police report, which said officers arrested Morton for possessing 10 grams of pot. Police now say the officer who shot Hammond was a victim of "attempted murder" as Hammond "accelerated and came toward the officer," reports Fox Carolina.
