Investigators reported that the video showed McIntosh throwing the coffee, charging at West, and punching him while on top of him. After getting up from the ground for a second time, West drew his firearm. Police said McIntosh made another movement toward West before the guard fired. McIntosh suffered gunshot wounds to his hip and leg. West sustained burns and contusions to his face and head. Police reported that no firearm was found on McIntosh and that the magazine allegedly used during the assault was recovered.
