(AP) — Christopher Few remembers hearing the gunshots that tore into his flesh and killed his 6-year-old autistic son. The barrage of bullets didn't stop when he stuck his hands out the window of his car in a sign of surrender. [...] the 26-year-old father of Jeremy Mardis testified Tuesday that he never heard any warnings before two Louisiana law enforcement officers fired 18 bullets at his car at the tail end of a 2-mile (3-kilometer) chase. Few, whose testimony marked his first public statements about the deadly encounter, said he learned of his son's death when he regained consciousness at a hospital. [...] he insisted he was driving safely and wasn't trying to escape from the three deputy city marshals and the Marksville police officer who chased him. During opening statements, defense attorney Jonathan Goins called Few "the author of that child's fate." Video from a Marksville police officer's body camera shows Few had his hands raised inside his vehicle while the officers fired.
