Louisville police allege rammed a patrol car, then refused orders to stop trying to drive away — prompting the officer to fire his gun at the pickup truck the man was driving.
In their first detailed account of the officer-involved shooting, Louisville police on Tuesday said Nicholas Moses, 25, was sitting in the driver’s seat of a pickup truck when Cpl. Joe Lamb and Officer Ben Himes responded to a call of suspicious people and possible drug activity at the Village Square Shopping Center in the 500 block of South Boulder Road on Thursday evening.
Police said Moses was told numerous times to exit the vehicle, and he initially complied, and walked backwards with his hands up before running back to the truck and ramming it into a police car.
Police have not said where on his body Moses was shot, though they described his wound as not life-threatening. The dog was killed.
Nicholas Moses was released from the hospital on Friday and from Jefferson and Adams counties, and the cities of Arvada, Loveland and Granby.
