Police said that Coolbaugh and another officer had been trying to stop Ferretti from driving aimlessly around the block, and that Coolbaugh opened fire only after he had yelled at Ferretti to stop and felt boxed in and threatened when Ferretti continued driving toward him. Krasner's office largely seemed to agree with that assessment, saying in the statement that it had reviewed surveillance video and interviewed witnesses, and that Ferretti "ignored multiple instructions to show [his] hands and then accelerated towards Officer Coolbaugh."
