Police and the family of Harris, 39, have very different accounts of the moments leading up to his shooting by police inside his home in the 7700 block of Allison Road. Both agree that it began with a call for help by Harris’ wife.

“The 911 call was ‘I'm concerned for my husband. Can you send someone to help him,’” said Jason Williams, an attorney representing the family.

Harris' wife says she called 911 after fearing he may have taken too many sleeping pills.

“Without speaking to his wife, and without any counselors or social workers, they rushed into the home with weapons,” Williams said. “One was carrying an assault rifle.”
