Mischievous Monday
The man, now identified as Jonathon Dyson of
nearby Greenwood, started his rampage at 8:25 a.m. when he wounded
Police Officer Rusty Brown outside a Starbucks on Highland Avenue, then
continued to shoot for another 15 minutes, more than 10 minutes after
backup officers arrived on the scene.
"I could have swore it was a banana," Brown
said of the Beretta M9 pistol. "I remember thinking to myself, why is
this man pointing his banana at me?"
Other officers also said they believed Dyson's weapon to be a piece of fruit, even as they saw him using it to gun people down.
"It was surreal. We were desperately trying to
identify the shooter, and here was this guy walking around with an
exploding banana," Centerville PD Sgt. Colt Redmond remarked.
Dyson's spree reportedly ended when he ran out of ammunition and went home.
Meanwhile, Aaron Hendriks, a black man who was
intentionally run over by responding police who mistook his Labrador
retriever for a missile launcher, has died.
