Mensah tried to reason with the group of 50 to 60 protesters on Saturday night, but claimed he and his girlfriend were both "assaulted" and "punched." The police officer retreated inside his home before a protester approached the rear door and fired a shotgun round into the property.
Officer Mensah attempted to establish a dialog with the group but was ultimately physically assaulted outside of his home. As Officer Mensah retreated into his home, armed protestors approached the rear door and a single shotgun round was discharged by a member of the group into Officer Mensah's backdoor."
The shotgun blast "missed me by inches" said Mensah in a Facebook post. The officer said protesters "tried to kill me."
