'When I reached the suspect, I observed that he had a pistol in his hand and was raising it upward,' the statement said.

'The child was in his lap, and I feared that the suspect would shoot and kill the child, one of the other officers who were fast approaching, or myself. I quickly aimed at the upper body and shot the suspect again.
