A police document indicates that a New York officer feared he’d shot a colleague during a chaotic 2010 incident that resulted in the death of a student from Massachusetts.
The document was released Monday by the father of Pace University football player Danroy Henry Jr.
According to the document, Mount Pleasant Officer Ronald Beckley told a lieutenant a few hours after the shooting that he feared he had shot Pleasantville Officer Aaron Hess.
Hess has said he shot Henry after being hit by Henry’s car and thrown onto the hood.
Beckley says he heard gunshots, saw the car speeding toward him, fired his own gun. Then he saw that Hess was the person on the hood.
He cried with relief when he learned his fellow officer was unharmed.
