Which was very different from the truth; I suspect your comment about him not understanding 'Freeze' is equally as incorrect. As far as I'm aware, he continued to advance on someone who was pointing a .44 magnum revolver at him until the guy decided that he must be a lunatic and shot him. Any moderately intelligent person should be able to work out that when you have a huge great gun pointed at you it's a real bad idea to keep moving towards the person who's holding it.
