The autopsy tells another story:

"A lawyer representing the family of a Seneca [S.C.] teenager who was shot by police Sunday night said the autopsy shows that Zachary Hammond was shot from behind and his car was not moving, contrary to police reports that the car veered toward the officer during a drug sting.
Eric Bland, a Columbia attorney hired by Hammonds parents, said he has requested the state Attorney General to call for a statewide grand jury investigation into the incident.
It is clearly, clearly from the back, Bland said after viewing pictures of the bullet wounds at the coroners office Wednesday. It is physically impossible for him to be trying to flee or run over the officer that shot him. . . .
Bland said the autopsy indicated that the first shot went into Hammonds left rear shoulder, throwing him forward in the car, and the second one went at a downward angle into his side from the rear, through his heart and lungs and leaving out his lower right side.
The entry wounds were five inches apart, he said.
The shots were so close in proximity to each other that it would be physically impossible unless the car was stopped and the officer came up very close to an open window, Bland said.
Picture a car going 20 miles an hour and Im fortunate enough to get a shot off, and I hit you theres no way I can get the second shot if the cars going 20 miles an hour, Bland said."

"According to the police, an undercover police office had arranged to buy some pot from the woman in Hammonds car. When Hammond and the woman arrived at the agreed-upon location, a uniformed officer emerged with his gun drawn. "
