The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Selwyn Hall struggled with two officers called to the scene as a follow-up to an earlier domestic battery call. They both used Tasers on him, but the devices were not effective, police said. Police allege that Hall attempted to grab one officer's Taser before Officer Ryan L. McGee fired eight times, killing him. “He did not reach for the Taser. He did not. I stood right there. They will dress it up the way they want to dress it up,” his wife said, pointing to the bullet impact mark on the Chevrolet. “I stood next to my husband and watched him get brutally shot down like a dog. They beat him on this side of the truck.”
