The officer woke him, and told him to put his hands behind his back. Gassman resisted arrest. A witness said that the police officer and Gassman were wrestling in the living room and kitchen. Gassman was able to get on top of the officer, and the officer pulled out his gun, yelling, I'mma shoot you! Gassman yelled, No, don't shoot! The officer shot at point blank range and after shooting Gassman, shot his own wrist on his left arm. He yelled, Call 911!
