MABLETON - Cobb Police now say only two rounds were fired at driver Matt Murdock, who was shot and killed by a police officer on May 19. Scott King, owner of the auto repair shop that Murdock was leaving before he was killed by a Cobb Police officer May 19, initially said he heard five to six shots, but now says he heard only two.

King said he was still shaken by Murdock's death when he first spoke to the Journal.

"I'm sorry. I was very upset. ... Matt was (a) good friend," King said.

Murdock was killed in a traffic stop involving two Cobb Police officers and a Cobb Sheriff's deputy at 11:25 p.m. May 19. According to police, a sheriff's deputy believed Murdock had a weapon in the car and physically engaged him. At that point, a Cobb Police officer arrived, saw the struggle and fired two shots at Murdock, Cobb Police Sgt. Dana Pierce said.

Murdock was taken by ambulance to Atlanta Medical Center and died at 2:06 a.m. May 20, Pierce said.

The shooting remains under investigation by Cobb Police, which could take many months. Police have not named the officer who fired the shots.

Still, King maintains Murdock was not given an opportunity to surrender.

"They didn't give him a chance," King said. "They yelled at him and shot him. It all took two seconds."
