Is this a released report (I did a quick search but didn't find anything).

But if not, it may be that this is second hand information conveyed to NBC. A summary of a summary. It is too pat that the first warning was at 130 yards and the fatal shooting exactly halfway at 65 yards.

That said, my math is that 65 yards in 4 seconds equals 195 yards in 4 seconds or 48.75 feet/second. 1 foot/second equals 0.682 miles/hour so 48.75 feet/second equals 33.2475mph. It says from the first warning not from the first warning shots.

So my math is giving me something between the two claims. Take into account the extreme rounding that appears to be going on (both in time and distance), that since they were on an exit ramp the road may not have been straight (meaning that distance travelled would not necessarily equal distance closed) and that perhaps the cars speed changed (maybe the driver braked somewhat at the first warning but still made no appearance of stopping) and I'm still at "I have no idea who's right."
