(CNN) Police Officer Rusten Sheskey has told investigators that it wasn't just his life he was defending when he fired his weapon seven times at Jacob Blake last month in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He's got my keys," Sheskey heard a woman say, according to attorney Brendan Matthews, who is representing the officer. At the time Sheskey opened fire, the lawyer said, Blake held a knife in his hand and twisted his body toward the officer. Jacob Blake, Sr., father of Jacob Blake, Jr., speaks during a news conference outside of the County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25. Blake, according to the police association statement, did not drop the weapon and began making his way around the front of the vehicle toward the driver's side door.
