Early in the morning of Oct. 17, Pace University student Danroy (DJ) Henry Jr. and his friends Brandon Cox and Desmond Hinds were parked outside Finnegan’s Grill, a bar in Thornwood, N.Y., in Westchester County.

According to reports, they were waiting for a fourth friend who was inside the bar. A cop tapped on the car, which was idling in the fire lane. Henry, the driver, drove forward and another cop appeared from behind a police vehicle with gun drawn, not giving Henry time to react.

The cop began firing and somewhere in the process was hit by the vehicle, while at least one other cop joined in the shooting. In all, as many as eight shots were fired, three striking Henry while Cox, who was in the passenger seat, took one bullet. This is the account given by Cox and other witnesses at the scene, which contradicts the official police report.
