A white former Ohio police officer charged with murder in the shooting of Andre Hill testified Monday that he fired four times after he spotted what he thought was a silver revolver in the Black man's hand while Hill was emerging from a dark garage.
Former Columbus officer Adam Coy said he rolled over Hill's body, saw a pile of keys and realized there was no gun.
"I knew at that point I made a mistake," Coy told jurors while fighting back tears. "I was horrified. It was the worst night of my life."
At 6 feet 7 inches, former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn had to slouch slightly when he spoke beneath the navy blue canopy and greeted Democratic Party volunteers with a "what's up, y'all?" Speaking in Gaston County, North Carolina, earlier this month, the former James Madison University football player was a familiar face to the crowd.
