The 5-day report has been released following a preliminary investigation into a
shooting by a Raleigh police officer.
The shooting happened on the night of Feb. 10 near Rock Quarry Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Police were called to the area to investigate a possible shooting. When they arrived they initially found nothing, but then heard several gunshots.
The 5-day report stated that Officer M.L. Berg ran toward the gunshots. His body camera reportedly shows that within seconds of hearing the gunshots, Berg locates a man holding what appears to be a gun.
Berg orders the man to drop the gun and place his hands on his head. He also identifies himself as a police officer.
