RELATED: Kettering police chief asks for time to answer shooting questions
Kettering police Chief Chip Protsman asked for patience from residents and did not answer specific questions about the incident during a Monday press conference.
This news organization is waiting for requests for open records related to McCoy and the shooting. Among the outstanding questions are:
1. What part does the pipe bomb found in Hoops’ apartment play in the investigation into the traffic stop?
2. What traffic infraction was the reason for Hoops’ stop and was law enforcement tracking him?
3. What happened and how did the incident escalate from a traffic stop to a fatal shooting inside of five minutes?
4. How many times did McCoy fire and why did the officer state in call for assistance that Hoops still had a gun in his pocket after the shooting?
5. When will cruiser cam footage of the incident, McCoy’s personnel records and any 911 calls related to the incident be made public?
“We are investigating that right now,” Protsman said Monday. “We are going to go over everything very thoroughly. And again, I’m not going to make any judgments or make any statements until the investigation is complete.”
