She cited administrative violations of insubordination, refusal to promptly obey proper orders from a superior officer and a conduct unbecoming violation for"failure to cooperate in any departmental investigation." Outlaw said the investigation into the shooting itself continues. Police originally said the officers made a traffic stop and shot a person outside the vehicle after he"lunged at" police with a knife. Outlaw said a review of the officers’ body-worn cameras"made it very clear that what we initially reported was not actually what happened."
