One officer exclaimed, "He's got a gun! Gun!" One of the officers yelled, "If you fricking move, I swear to God!" Then Salamoni was heard on the video saying, "Lake, he's going for the gun!" One of the officers aimed his gun at Sterling's body, then three gunshots were heard. The camera panned away just before the camera panned back and three more gunshots were heard. The police officer sitting on Sterling's chest was not in the picture and the other officer who drew the gun, was about 3 feet (0.91 m) away. His gun was pointed on Sterling, who had a gunshot wound in his chest.[12] According to witness Abdullah Muflahi, the officers then retrieved a firearm from Sterling's pocket.[10] The officers then radioed for Emergency Medical Services.[6]
