During the stop, Cook assaulted Faulkner, leading to a physical altercation. Abu-Jamal, who was nearby, intervened by shooting Faulkner in the back and face. Faulkner returned fire, wounding Abu-Jamal in the chest. Despite his injuries, Abu-Jamal stood over Faulkner and fired additional shots, fatally wounding him.
