Officer Darren Wilson spoke out for the first time publicly since shooting and killing Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO earlier today. Wilson spoke exclusively with ABC News and said that Brown reached into his police car in an attempt to grab his gun.
“All I wanted to do was live,” said Wilson, who the grand jury declined to indict in connection with the fatal shooting in August.
“I didn’t know if I’d be able to withstand another hit like that,” Wilson said.
“I had reached out my window with my right hand to grab onto his forearm ’cause I was gonna try and move him back and get out of the car to where I’m no longer trapped,” Wilson said.
“I just felt the immense power that he had. And then the way I’ve described it is it was like a 5-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan. That’s just how big this man was,” Wilson said.
