A man accused of engaging in a gunfight with police that resulted in the death of an assistant manager at a Trader Joe’s in Silver Lake in 2018 will be allowed to act as his own attorney, a judge said Thursday.
He allegedly fired shots at police during the chase, and again when he got out of the car following a crash and fled into the store.
“I had no alternative but to fire my weapon at Gene Atkins in order to stop this deadly threat that he, himself, had created,” Sinlen Tse said in his sworn statement. “I fired based upon his actions and stopped when I realized he was moving into the Trader Joe's entrance to avoid striking individuals inside.”
“After the crash, Atkins immediately exited the Camry and fired his handgun three times at Tse and Winans as he ran into the Trader Joe's,” “Neither I nor Officer Winans fired any additional shots due to the concern regarding the patrons inside Trader Joe's, demonstrating one of several instances where Officer Winans and I showed restraint, control and reverence for human life,'' Tse said.
