When Chen came back to the neighborhood in a blue van a short time later,
the same officer tried to approach him and ask why he was in the area.
“Rather than stop, we are advised that the driver of the van, Individual A,
directed the vehicle towards the officer who attempted to get out of the
way and requested that the driver stop,” Sacks said in the statement.
That’s when the security guard pulled out his weapon.
“Ultimately, faced with a situation in which he could not safely escape the
oncoming van headed straight for him, the security guard, out of total
necessity, and in reasonable fear for his life and safety, fired in an
effort to stop and repel the threat to his life and safety,” said Sacks.
Greg Sandler, an attorney for Chen’s family, said Chen had just dropped off
his sister-in-law at home then left in his van around 10:30 p.m. to go out
and play Pokémon Go, a smartphone game he enjoyed as a way to bond with his
grandchildren.
Chen’s brother went out to look for the 60-year-old grandfather, and
stumbled upon the police scene with the van shot several times.
“The information that we have seen at the van and learned from a couple of
people who either saw or heard various parts of this indicated that the
security person was standing in front of the van and fired somewhere between
five and 10 shots directly through the driver’s front windshield of the
van,” said Sandler. “Mr. Chen was killed instantly.”
The River Walk Community Association said in a statement that the
neighborhood only hires “unarmed roving patrol services.”
But Sacks said on Monday that Citywide was a private security company
licensed by the state of Virginia to allow armed services.
The investigation into the deadly incident is ongoing, but Citywide has sent
their condolences to the family through Sack’s statement.
“If what I have represented to you in this statement turns out to be the
facts, then it isn’t even a close question that this was a justifiable
shooting,” Sacks said at the press conference. “A tragic one, a very sad
one, but we live in a country where we have a right to defend ourselves and
our lives and our persons when we are threatened with death or imminent
bodily harm. And that’s what our investigation indicates is the case here.”
A vigil was held Sunday night in River Walk, where dozens gathered to show
support for the Chen family. |
