To add context, the gun was said to be a rifle. So if they thought he was armed with a stolen gun, he was going to do some Bugs Bunny shit and pull a rifle out of his bunny pockets
the McMichaels said in the police report that they grabbed their guns because they had seen Ahmaud the other night and he was sticking his hand down his pants and they thought it might have been a gun. They said he was a suspect in a series of recent break-ins in the area, their gun being stolen had to be one of those break-ins they felt he had did, so again it might not have been their gun they thought he had but they clearly said they felt he might have a gun and that he was responsible for the break-ins. Also in the report it says McMichael told his son “the guy is running down the street let’s go”, so that means they had already discussed what they were going to do the next time they saw him
from the police report
Upon my arrival I observed Officer Minshew ( 184) setting up a perimeter .I began speaking with Gregory McMichael who was a witness to the incident . McMichael stated there have been several Break - ins in the neighborhood and further the suspect was caught on surveillance video. Mi
his front yard and saw the suspect from the break-ins "hauling ass" down Satilla Drive toward Burford Drive. McMichael stated he then ran inside his house and called to Travis ( ) and said " Travis the guy is running down the street lets go". McMichael stated he went to his bedroom and grabbed his Magnum and Travis grabbed his shotgun because they " didn ' t know if the male was armed or not" . Michael stated " the other night" they saw the same male and he stuck his hand down his pants which lead them to believe the male was armed
