SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) - A former sheriff's deputy who shot and wounded an Iraq war veteran after a high-speed chase initially said he thought the man was trying to attack him, then later changed his story, a prosecutor said in opening arguments Tuesday.
Deputy District Attorney Lewis Cope said Ivory Webb, a deputy at the time, told Chino police that Senior Airman Elio Carrion "'started to come at me.'"
Later, Webb told authorities he believed Carrion was reaching for a gun in his jacket pocket. Carrion was unarmed.
