One of the witnesses to the shooting was 13-year-old James Cooper, who told the Gazette-Mail on Tuesday morning that he saw Pulliam kill his friend. 

…Another friend, Teonno White, 14, …said he’s had run-ins with Pulliam in the past, when Pulliam would “pick on” his younger brother.

“One time I went over there to talk to him about it, I said, ‘You’ve got to quit picking on my little brother, that doesn’t look right,’” White said.

“He said, ‘Get the [expletive] off my property.’ He said I need to go on with my nappy Latino self. He’s just a real bad guy.”

White said he’s called the police about Pulliam before, and was told to avoid the man.

[For those counting, that’s policing FAIL number one in this story]

….Caleb Burgess was working at the Dollar General when officers responded Monday night.

….He said police initially forced Burgess and another employee to the ground, guns pointed, until they confirmed the store was empty.
