COPA said it was not clear whether the man fired shots at officers, but said a gun was recovered.
This differs from the initial version of facts provided by police Supt. David Brown.
Police came to the scene and began engaging with a man walking nearby, suspecting he was the one involved, COPA said. Two officers got out and pursued the man on foot, ordering him to get on the ground, COPA said. This is contrary to Brown's account, which was pretty clear-cut. He said the man fired at police, and police fired back.
