Off-duty D.C. police officer was defending himself in 2011 shooting, attorney says

An off-duty D.C. police officer charged with pulling his service revolver and firing into a packed car last year was "under attack" by the people in the car, the officer's attorney told a D.C. Superior Court jury Tuesday.

The incident occurred just minutes after the officer offered money for sex with one of the vehicle's occupants, prosecutors say.

Kenneth D. Furr, 48,who joined the police department in 1990, is charged with several counts, including assault with intent to kill and solicitation in the Aug. 26, 2011, incident.

"He was alone, outnumbered and under attack," one of Furr's attorneys, David Knight, said in his opening statement. "He was threatened, assaulted and pursued by a car full of people who wanted to do him harm."
