Video Shows Montana Cop Weeping After Fatal Shooting

HeadlineJan 14, 2015

Newly released video shows a police officer breaking down in tears after fatally shooting an unarmed man in Montana. Last week, a coroner’s jury found Billings Police Officer Grant Morrison was justified in shooting Richard Ramirez during a traffic stop last April. Video from the aftermath of the shooting shows Morrison collapsing over the hood of a police cruiser and weeping as his colleagues try to console him. Morrison can be heard saying, “I thought he was going to pull a gun on me. Maybe he was. Maybe he was. (Weeping).”
