MINNEAPOLIS - An ex-Minnesota policeman on trial for murder said on Thursday that he opened fire on an Australian woman who approached his car to protect his partner who was struggling to get his gun.
Noor testified in a Minneapolis courtroom that he shot Damond after he and his partner Matthew Harrity, who was in the driver’s seat, heard a loud noise. Harrity had trouble removing his gun from its holster and “he turned to me with fear in his eyes,” Noor said during his five-hour testimony. Noor’s defense attorneys called him to testify as their first witness after the prosecution rested their case on Thursday.
During the trial that began two weeks ago, Noor’s attorneys have tried to show the Hennepin County District Court jury that Noor followed his training and had good reason to be on guard when he responded to Damond’s 911 call that night.
