'With the thump and being startled, I went straight to, 'This could be an ambush,'' Officer Matthew Harrity testified in the trial of Mohamed Noor.
Prosecutors have questioned the defense narrative of a thump on the squad car, saying investigators found no forensic evidence that Damond touched it. They've also questioned the timing of the claim, saying Harrity first mentioned it days after the shooting and after investigators raised the possibility.Stephen Govel Photography
"At this time, I hear something hit the car and I also hear some sort of murmur," he said. He immediately drew his gun and held it to his ribs pointing downward, he said. Harrity said that as he tried to make sense of what was happening, he heard a pop and looked over to see that Noor had fired across him and through the driver's side window.Neither officer had their body cameras running at that point, something Harrity blamed on what he called a vague policy that didn't require it. Both men switched them on afterward, and a portion of Harrity's was played Thursday.
