Verdict (continued from page 3) Wyckoff officials praised Fox for his handling of the situation. “I absolutely felt my life was in danger,” Fox said last week. “We were a foot apart and, when he grabbed for my gun, I quickly realized what the consequences might be if he got my gun out of the holster.” Fox was sequestered, and the trial was continued. Wyckoff Detective Michael Musto, who transported the defendant to Bergen County Medical Center, said the man told him that if he took Musto’s gun, he was going to shoot himself. Musto also said the defendant told him he almost got Fox’s gun, and was going to shoot the current police chief. Two women motorists also testified that the defendant had rammed their cars with his in what appeared to be a deliberate manner.
