So, according to the police file, when a Gilbert police officer arrived, the first thing he saw as he walked up to
00:00:05
the front door was someone like peeking through the blinds of the office window.
00:00:11
And as the officer got closer with his weapon at the ready, he heard a man saying through the window, like, "I'm
00:00:17
Dave. I'm Dave." So, the officer ordered Dave to open the door and come out, but
00:00:22
instead, Dave barely opens it, hands the officer a bloody gun by the barrel, and
00:00:29
said, {quote} "I'm his partner. That's my gun. I'm sorry. Oh my god." Now, the officer put the gun on the ground
00:00:37
outside and then tried to open the front door to walk in, but it wouldn't budge.
00:00:41
>> Is Dave blocking them from coming in? >> No, Dave's not blocking them. Nick actually was. He He His body was lying
00:00:48
on the floor on his side with a pool of blood around him, completely unresponsive. And he had blood all over
00:00:55
his face, and it looked like there was a bullet hole in his left cheek. Now, I don't know what protocol is when you
00:01:02
need to get inside a crime scene and something at the scene itself is preventing that. Personally, I don't
00:01:08
know. I might have tried to find another entrance. >> Yeah. This officer, though, decided to just
00:01:13
push through the door until Nick's body moved enough for him to squeeze through.
00:01:17
And once he's in, he saw a clear sign there of a struggle.
