ST. PETERSBURG --

The family members of teen shooting suspect Nicholas Lindsey said they were too upset to attend his court appearance Wednesday morning.

Lindsey's father did attend but his mother, Deneen Sweat, 43, and brother, Anthony, 19, spoke to reporters Wednesday morning.

Sweat offered her apology and condolences for the slain officer's family.

She also said she was shocked that her son could be involved the shooting. She said there are no guns in her home and she didn't know where Lindsey got the gun, how he got $140 to buy it or where it is now.

Sweat said her son left their apartment Monday night and returned home at 11:15 p.m. She said she did not know her son had left the home. Later, when she heard about the shooting of Ofc. David Crawford, she asked her son about it.

He initially denied any involvement. She said she urged him to tell what he knew.

"He manned up and said he was scared,'' she said. "He had the gun in his pocket. He said the officer asked him to take his hands out of his pocket. When he took his hands out of his pocket, the automatic gun went off. That's what he said.'' HORSESHIT. he was shot 4 times!
Police say the night of the shooting, the suspect, 16-year-old Nicholas Lindsey, was in the area trying to break into a Dodge Neon but was unsuccessful.

Crawford and another officer were dispatched to the scene. Crawford arrived first.

Police say Crawford was shot as he walked up to the suspect.

"He had his notepad out in his hand. When the suspect turned around, he pulled a weapon out and fired a round at Officer Crawford," said Michael Kovacsev, with SPPD. "He fired three more rounds. He pointed at the officer's belly and hit Officer Crawford four times."

Officers found four casings at the scene. Police say Crawford was able to return six rounds, but the suspect was not hit and fled.

"We do know that he was able to break the perimeter before we could set that perimeter-- and get home," Kovacsev said.

Police say the teen purchased the gun off the street for $140.
