(CNN) The Columbus, Ohio, police officer who shot unarmed Andre Hill shouted that Hill had a gun before shooting him to death last week, according to a statement included in a report prepared by the Columbus police chief after the shooting. Coy asked Hill to exit the garage and Hill didn't respond verbally but started walking out of the garage. (She) stated Officer Coy observed a firearm and yelled, 'There's a gun in his other hand, there's a gun in his other hand!' The memo noted there wasn't audio evidence of the encounter because Coy didn't activate his camera. "Officer Coy rolled Mr. Hill over and immediately reacted with deep distress using profanity as he realized Mr. Hill was unarmed," the report states.
