Prosecutor says Andrew Brown hit deputies with car before fatal shooting and judge delays releasing body camera footage

A North Carolina prosecutor said Andrew Brown Jr. hit law enforcement officers with his car before they opened fire, while a judge ordered a 10-day delay for the release of body camera footage in his fatal shooting on April 21.

District Attorney Andrew Womble told a judge at a hearing Wednesday he disagreed with a characterization by attorneys for the family of Brown that his vehicle was stationary when the shooting started, citing body camera footage he saw.

The video showed Brown’s car made contact with law enforcement twice before gunfire was heard on the video, Womble claimed, according to WSOC-TV.
