Officer having ‘anxiety attack’ took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says
A state report found the shooting justified despite a 10-minute ambulance delay caused by an officer's anxiety attack, raising questions about the impact on the victim's survival.
- On Tuesday, the inspector general found the shooting justified because video shows Best with a pistol pointed backward at Officer Yoon Heo.
- Responding to a 911 call, officers encountered a brawl involving about 30 people, and a witness directed police to two men in an SUV where Perrotta asked Best to step out before he fled.
- The second ambulance arrived about 6:12 p.m., and hospital records show Best was brought in at 6:22 p.m., creating roughly a 10‑minute delay.
- Relatives, including Tatiana Barrett, said the report's revelations angered and saddened family and friends, and they believe he could have survived, while the family’s lawyer disputed that Best had a gun and said he was holding a vape pen.
- The report raised questions about what took place after the March 31 shooting and did not say whether the ambulance delay contributed to Best’s death, White said Wednesday.
