, the man's father, Herman Whitfield Jr. can be heard asking the police about an ambulance. For roughly 10 minutes, Herman Whitfield III walked around the house as officers and his parents tried to calm him down. When he moved from the kitchen to the living room, an officer tased him. With the wounds from Herman Whitfield III’s death still fresh, the police shooting of a 911 caller's grandson has further rocked community leaders. Details about the shooting remain scant as the investigation continues, though, in the latest update, police said detectives determined the homeowner and officers did not know the man inside the reported car was the woman's grandson. They also learned the injured man had been driving a rental car, thus making it unfamiliar.
Greene further said he doesn't believe the fact that the man who was shot by police had a gun justified three officers firing their weapons. According to the latest information by officials, it's unclear if the gun was in the man's hand, and police do not believe he fired the handgun.
