The way it's being reported, Boys' wife/GF called the police because she said that Boys took a shot at her. Police showed up and confiscated the woman's .38 and ammo. The officer also took a box of .40 ammo and a spent .40 shell casing that supported the woman's story. However, the police officer did not confiscate Boys' weapon. The speculation is that the same gun was used hours later to kill the officer in the squad car.

I think the officer who responded to the original call is trying to cover up the fact that he didn't confiscate Boys' gun but I don't see how he could possibly know that the other officer would be transporting Boys much later.

I guess it would make sense that Johnson would hang on to the box of bullets if he was trying to cover his arse, knowing hours later a .40 caliber firearm was used to kill Holloway.

But that doesn't make sense that he would have withheld the bullets to begin with for that reason, since he could not have predicted that the .40 caliber firearm would be used in a subsequent murder.

To me, it comes down to two scenarios: 1) Officer Johnson is so completely lazy and incompetent that a perfect storm of frickups allowed Officer Holloway to be murdered. Or 2) Officer Johnson's actions/inactions were purposeful in nature. That is, he intentionally did not mention the alleged .40 caliber weapon specifically, even though that was the weapon Boys' wife claims Boys fired at her; he mentioned to his partner (via body cam) the desire to have left the spent .40 casing at the original crime scene; his frisking of Boys (via body cam) intentionally resulted in Boys maintaining possession of the .40 caliber firearm.

And even then, Why is still the question.
