Sheriff: James DiMaggio fired at least one shot
Source: Idaho Statesman
BOISE James Lee DiMaggio, who was shot and killed Saturday by an FBI agent in the rugged Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, fired at least one shot before he was killed, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said today.
Gore also revealed that 16-year-old Hannah Anderson had not known until after she was rescued Saturday that her mother Christina and her brother Ethan, 8, had been murdered before she was abducted, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. Their bodies were found Aug. 4 in DiMaggio's burning home in east San Diego County, near the Mexican border.
Dimaggio was armed with at least one firearm that he carried in a shoulder holster, Gore said in remarks reported by the Los Angeles Times.
"Obviously we would've liked Mr. DiMaggio to surrender and face justice in the court of law, but that's not going to be the case," said Gore, quoted by USA Today.

(1,314 posts)saying that perhaps the officers made it look like he fired a shot by pulling the trigger after he was dead.
I agree with the other post: who cares if he fired the first shot or not. It would have been nice to see him tried, but what a piece of dirt.

very hard on her,
...I wonder if she even realized that she'd been kidnapped. The guy was a family friend and supposedly 'like an uncle' to the kids.
