You can see the vid here . If that link becomes dead at any point just do a search for south carolina mayor brown shooting (that's what I did).
In the video you can't really see where his life was threatened. However if he passes and goes to the car and begins coming back with a gun in his hand that's pretty clear. So just because we can't see the gun doesn't mean Brown can't.
I'm impressed that Brown saw him coming and didn't let him get the drop on him. Very impressed indeed, assuming he saw the gun.
