A retired
police sergeant, Chris Carroll has
revealed late rapper 2Pac Shakur’s final words. According to Carroll, he was
the first to get to the scene of the shooting, and told his story in a new
interview. “I grab the car door and I’m trying to open it, but I can’t get it
open,” he says. “[Knight] keeps coming up on my back, so I’m pointing my gun at
him. I’m pointing it at the car. I’m yelling, ‘You guys lay down! And you, get
the f**
k away from me!’ And every time I’d point the gun at him, he’d back off
and even lift his hands up, like ‘All right! All right!’ So I’d go back to the
car, and here he comes again. I’m like, ‘F**ker, back off!’ This guy is huge,
and the whole time he’s running around at the scene, he’s gushing blood from
his head. Gushing blood! I mean the guy had clearly been hit in the head, but
he had all his faculties. I couldn’t believe he was running around and doing
what he was doing, yelling back and forth.”
“So I
grabbed him with my left arm, and he falls into me, and I’ve still got my gun
in the other hand,” he continues. “He’s covered with blood, and I immediately
notice that the guy’s got a ton of gold on — a necklace and other jewelry — and
all of the gold is covered in blood. That has always left an image in my mind.
. . After I pulled him out, Suge starts yelling at him, ‘Pac! Pac!’ And he just
keeps yelling it. And the guy I’m holding is trying to yell back at him. He’s
sitting up and he’s struggling to get the words out, but he can’t really do it.
And as Suge is yelling ‘Pac!,’ I look down and I realize that this is Tupac
Shakur.”
Carroll says
he attempted to get a “dying declaration” of a potential suspect from Shakur,
but the rapper was ignoring him at first.
“And then I
saw in his face, in his movements, all of a sudden in the snap of a finger, he
changed,” he says. “And he went from struggling to speak, being noncooperative,
to an ‘I’m at peace’ type of thing. Just like that. . . He went from fighting
to ‘I can’t do it.’ And when he made that transition, he looked at me, and he’s
looking right in my eyes. And that’s when I looked at him and said one more
time, ‘Who shot you?’. . . He looked at me and he took a breath to get the
words out, and he opened his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get
some cooperation. And then the words came out: ‘F**k you.’ After that, he
started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness.”
