A screaming officer grapples in the half-dark for control of a handgun with the occupant of an SUV. The occupant then grabs at officer’s radio to stop her from calling for backup and then he reaches for a second gun.
That is the scene—captured in a police video released by a state’s attorney—that greeted officer Anthony Loiacono as he rounded a police cruiser on a gravel path in Illinois, seconds before he shot the man dead with a single shot to the head.
