We do. He\u2019s scarred for life,\u201d said Pam Moornan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wasn\u2019t a bad person. His father was killed by IMPD. That is enough to hurt a person and scar him for life,\u201d explained Pam Moornan.<\/p>\n<p>Major Davis Sr. died of a heart attack in 2003 after being arrested for public intoxication. According to the autopsy, the heart attack was induced by &#8220;physical exertion&#8221; during the arrest as Davis Sr. resisted the officers.<\/p>\n<p>Before his death in 2003, Davis Sr. had spent three years in prison on a drug related conviction. Davis Jr. was 14 years old when he lost his father.<\/p>\n<p>The family worries that Davis kids will also grow up without a father.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I already know he&#8217;ll probably never get to come back home,&#8221; Pam Moorman said, knowing that if he recovers from the injuries he is likely to face a murder charge for fatally shooting Renn. &#8220;We already lost him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Moorman&#8217;s expressed sympathy for the slain officer and his family but also said that the shooting could have been avoided if Renn opted to stay in his car since he could see that Davis had a gun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He [Renn] took a chance with Major,&#8221; Yvonne Moorman said. &#8220;He gave him the benefit of the doubt, and he lost his life. They asked Major to put the gun down. That to me was giving him the benefit of the doubt.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family of an Indianapolis man accused of murdering a police officer is saying that the tragedy could have been avoided if the officer had remained in his vehicle instead of confronting the suspect who was armed with a semiautomatic rifle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":21549,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21544","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-buzz","9":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Family of man who killed cop- &#039;Could have been avoided if officer stayed in car&#039;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The family of an Indianapolis man accused of murdering a police officer is saying that the tragedy could have been avoided if the officer had stayed put.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/family-man-killed-cop-avoided-officer-stayed-car\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Family of man who killed cop- &#039;Could have been avoided if officer stayed in car&#039;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The family of an Indianapolis man accused of murdering a police officer is saying that the tragedy could have been avoided if the officer had remained in his vehicle instead of confronting the suspect who was armed with a semiautomatic rifle.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/family-man-killed-cop-avoided-officer-stayed-car\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-07-09T18:20:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-17T17:54:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Major-Davis-Jr1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
