He turned his torso towards me.

And what if an enemy do with his arm?

He waved the knife from his lower right side upwards, his body towards my left shoulder.

And when he did that, what did you do officer?

I shot him. And when he did that, what did you do, officer?

I shot him.

From W.B.E.Z. Chicago and the Chicago Tribune, this is 16 shots, the police shooting of Lacan McDonald.

I'm Jen White.

Officer Jason Van Dyke took the stand and testified in his own defense today.

W.B.E.Z. Patrick Smith is at the courthouse.

Patrick, this was the first time Officer Van Dyke has described in public the shooting of

Laquonald. What did he say? Well Well he described from the moment when they first got the call of officers needing assistance,

that call of asking for a taser actually, which he did not have in his car.

He described, you you know him and

his partner driving to the scene seeing requirement Donald for the first time

he got probably about 10 to 15 feet away from me.

When he got 10 to 15 feet away from me, what did he do?

We never lost eye contact.

Guys were bugging on his face was just expressionless.

And then he said that Lacquonne McDonald turned his torso toward Van Dyke

and waved the knife across his chest.

And Van Dyke said that's when I shot him.
