"What he<br>> should have done was stopped down at the highway and waited for his<br>> backup, which was the Tribal Police."<br>> Allen said he wasn't home until about 15 minutes after the shooting took<br>> place, and has not seen video of the actual incident. He says that video<br>> may exist though.<br>> Allen doesn't deny reports that the men fled ISP after a previous traffic<br>> stop, but says the men "sensed a hatred" in the trooper and felt the need<br>> to flee to a "sanctuary" or "safe place."<br>> "I wasn't home and so they just kind of stopped and did things on their<br>> own," said Allen. "Unfortunately had I been there, they'd probably still<br>> be alive."<br>> ISP says the officer opened fire after being attacked and overpowered by<br>> the two men.
