Early statements by Chief Belmar
Belmar said at a news conference on Sunday that when Wilson got out of his squad car, Brown pushed him back in, and a struggle ensued.
Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer's vehicle.
He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer's weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle.

Belmar says Brown physically assaulted the officer, and during a struggle between the two, Brown reached for the officer's gun. One shot was fired in the car followed by other gunshots outside of the car.

**Two recent comments (on video) by Brown Family lawyers:**
(Two nights ago, after release of report about Wilson's orbital fracture)
"Nancy, without question, there was some level of interaction, strong interaction, between the officer and Michael at the car. We don`t deny that, Daryl Parks, attorney for Browns family said Monday night.
I think as evidence comes out, you'll see and hear more of that. But that`s not what killed him.

On Megyn Kelly last night:
(Megan asks his theory on why this officer, with a good history would have just opened fire on what we're told is an innocent teenager.)
Parks (Brown Family attorney) answers: "In all due fairness, at the very beginning, at the car, there was a very serious situation between Michael and the officer, without question, in which there may have been blow -they had an altercation.
And at some point, the officer's gun may have come out and a shot's fired."
(He follows by saying that's not the real issue.)
