Off-duty Fort Worth officer shot man as he was trying to drive away, attorney claims
SUMMARY: Today, attorneys for Samuel Christopher, involved in a highway shooting with Fort Worth Officer William Martin, shared details of the incident. On September 3rd, while off-duty and unarmed, Officer Martin confronted Christopher after an alleged road rage incident. Martin exited his vehicle, approached Christopher, pointed his gun, and fired after Christopher tried to drive away. Witnesses described the encounter, leading to Martin’s charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Martin claims Christopher was the aggressor, asserting he perceived a threat. Christopher’s attorneys maintain that he acted in self-defense, fearing for his life. Martin remains free on bond.
The attorney representing the man who was shot by an off-duty Fort Worth police officer laid out his client’s version of events on Tuesday. Those events are very different from those described by Officer William Martin, who has since been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
