He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman.
