- Then, you see a group of officers walk over to Anders as he is laying on the ground with his 90-year-old grandmother standing over him with guns still drawn and pointing at Anders and telling the family member to back up. The officer goes to check to make sure no one else is in the car that Anders exited and then he puts his gun away.
