A murder-accused policeman who fatally shot Kumanjayi Walker says he feared for his life when the Aboriginal teenager pulled out scissors and started attacking him.
Constable Zachary Rolfe, 30, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Walker, 19, during a failed arrest attempt in Yuendumu, 290km northwest of Alice Springs.
Rolfe fired three shots into Mr Walker's back and torso on November 9, 2019 after he had stabbed him with a pair of scissors while resisting arrest.
