Dallas cops shoot man running away "in self-defense"???

People running away from you sure are threatening, I guess

The family of a Dallas man gunned down by an officer, wants answers. Police say the officer shot the suspect in self defense, but witnesses tell a different story.

The last time his family saw John Robert Husband, who was also known as J. J, alive, was around dinner time Saturday evening.

About an hour later, Husband was dead---shot down by a Dallas police officer.

His mother, brother, sister and grandfather are still unclear about the circumstances surrounding his death.

"They're not doing well at all they just like me they want some answers." Said the Grandfather, chocking back tears. "That's my oldest grandson, I raised him and they shot him in the back and they said it was justified?"

Dallas police say Husband was driving and had two other men in the car with him. The officer claims he noticed a gun in the vehicle, and pulled them over. The young men were handcuffed when witnesses say Husband tried to run away from the officer.

Police say the officer shot him in self defense. Was Husband in handcuffs when he was shot by the officer? Did police find the gun on him? All questions Dallas police are not ready to answer just yet.

Husband's Grandfather is calling on Chief David Brown to get involved. "I don't want hatred, I can't go around hating nobody, all police are not bad. I would like to see Chief David Brown come forward and promise to do something about the police officer because what he did was not justified." Said the Grandfather
