Prosecutors alleged that when Grayson and his partner responded to Massey’s home, Grayson allowed her to move a pot of water heating on the stove, but as she set it on a counter, Grayson then “aggressively yelled” at Massey over the pot and pulled his 9mm pistol.
Massey then asked what the deputies were doing, to which Grayson responded, “Getting away from your hot, steaming water.”
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” Massey said twice, according to the documents reviewed by NBC News.
Grayson responded, “I swear to God. I will shoot you right in your f------ face.”
When Grayson drew his service weapon and ordered her to drop the pot, she let go, then crouched below a line of cabinets, and declared “I’m sorry” before being shot in the face, prosecutors said.
Grayson did not render aid to Massey and discouraged his partner from getting his medical kit because he thought her injury was too severe, according to the court document filed in support of keeping Grayson in custody without bond.

It never hurts to just ask someone to step away from it instead of shooting them in the face immediately.
Remember, she called them for help. There was absolutely no reasonable expectation of hostility that would justify self defense of any kind.
He really just wanted to murder with impunity.
“Mmmmmmn… boot, so delicious.”
So is everything. Everything can kill you if used correctly. They had the same odds of being suffocated by a pillow if she had been doing laundry–because she was an innocent person who called the police for help, and she was just trying to be safe. And she got shot in the face, and you’re arguing that the police were justified for shooting her in the face.
What is wrong with you?
Removed, defending the cops is the one thing not allowed here.
“But County Circuit Judge Ryan M. Cadagin decreed that Massey, weighing about 110 pounds, posed no threat to the 6-foot-3, 228-pound Grayson, who was armed and accompanied by another deputy, and after shooting her refused to render aid.”
