The officers received information of a black man in the parking lot with a gun. The officers located Adams, who had a handgun in his waistband. Adams drew the handgun and walked towards the officers. When the officers ordered Adams to stop, he ran. Thinking that Adams was looking for cover from which to attack then, Yeun fired, striking Adams.[1][2]
