Here is how officers described the McIntosh shooting hours later: Eight police arrived in several vehicles, according to Hinkel’s reporting. McIntosh, seen holding a firearm, was chased to the back porch, where he pointed the gun at Slechter and disobeyed an order to drop it. Slechter fired three times. Officer Patrick Bowery said he saw McIntosh pointing a weapon. Officer Saharat Sampim said he witnessed the shooting from 15 or 20 feet away. Sgt. Nicola Zodo reported he was behind the house in an alley in his squad car when he heard shots and rushed to the porch. Police recovered a 9 mm pistol. The now-discredited and defunct Independent Police Review Authority heard enough to rule in 2015 that the shooting was within policy.
