In the video, officers asked him to dropped his weapon: "Sir, put the weapon down. Put the weapon down." They said he never dropped it. Instead, they said Brooks raised the gun and that's when Marsden shot Brooks twice in the stomach. "Based on the law, the officer was protecting himself -- and not only him but another officer -- from a serious threat," Athens-Clarke County Deputy Chief Jeff Clark said. Police said they had been called to Brooks' address before. The GBI will make the final determination as to whether the shooting was justified.
