King left the scene of a car accident by other, almost ramming responding Officer Brian Naismith in the process. Officer Naismith shot into the other, killing King. Reporter Dave Michaels tried to interview Officer Naismith a year later. Naismith threatened him with a shotgun, demanded his identity and ranted at him about threats he received after the shooting was reported. Naismith, cleared in the shooting, was fired for the later incident. King's family received a $300,000 settlement.
