Preliminary reports detail shooting of Kirtland airman as told by his pursuers

U.S. Air Force Airman Brion Teel-Scott was cornered — taking cover behind a car in a driveway across Gibson from Kirtland Air Force Base. Several military police, members of his squadron, told him to surrender with weapons drawn.

One of the airmen later said Teel-Scott told his pursuers to call Albuquerque police, as "they did not have any jurisdiction" after chasing him off base in vehicles and on foot. Teel-Scott asked them to call police "about seven times" and told them that if the group backed up, "he would show his hands and be compliant."
