*Josie call:

"well, its been really really hard to keep quiet because I do know his version of the story, And um I have it. It seems like everyone only is talking about the other side and I understand that they haven't really gotten to hear this side. Um and I have been afraid to say anything I think we all are all his friends and family. . . Um but I just feel like I we need to put out there his version of events so maybe people can consider them as the truth if nothing else. So you want me to maybe run down?... Ok so he said that um.

…he said "come on guys, get out of the street", um they refused to and were yelling back they were almost where they were going and there was some cussing involved. and then he just kept rolling up and then pulled over, and I believe at that point he called for back up but am not certain of this, I know he pulled up ahead of them and was watching them and then he gets the call in that there was a strong arm robbery and they give the description and he's looking at them and they have something in their hands that looks like it could be like those cigars or whatever. So he goes in reverse after them, opens his door and they slam the door shut on him violently. I think he said Michael did this, and then he opens his car door again and tries to stand up but then Michael just bum rushes him and shoves him back into the car. Punches him in the face and then of course Darren then grabs for his gun. Michael grabs his gun and at one point he (Mike) totally had the gun pointed against his (Wilson's) hip. and Dar.. you know, shoves it away and the gun goes off. So then Michael runs off with his friend, they get to be about 35 feet away and then of course protocol is to pursue. And so he stands up and shouts freeze and then Michael and his friend turn around. And then Michael and his friend start taunting him and say "aww, what are you going to do about it? you're not going to shoot me." and then all of a sudden he (Michael) just started to bum-rush him. he just started coming at him full speed and so he just started shooting and he (Michael) just kept coming. So he (Wilson) thinks he (Mike) was on something. because he just kept coming and it was unbelievable. and then so he finally ended up the final shot was in the forehead and then he fell about two or three feet in front of the officer.

"So that's why the stories are going around that oh he's got a (inaudible) people call you with a shot to his head um of course ballistics will prove that he wasn't shot in the back like the other people are saying (inaudible)"
"but um that's his version of what happened."

When asked how she came by this information: She replies, "Um with his, significant other (inaubible) it was before it was such a huge, you know…it was Sunday night before the riots. So you know it was when they were still on facebook everyone was still talking you know it was kinda still an open discussion at that point. I of course had no idea it would turn into this."
She then states that "they (Wilson family) have not been in contact with anyone since Tuesday.


*This was typed directly from the recording posted by The Dana Show.
Maybe people can discern what I deemed "inaudible".
