Bun told investigators he shot Daly, considered suicide

Photo by Curt Yeomans Accused cop killer Veasna Johnathan Bun rests his face in one of his hands as the third day of his trial for killing Clayton County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Daly begins, on Thursday.

Veasna Johnathan Bun considered taking his own life, in a shed, while law enforcement officers searched for him in the hours after Clayton County Sheriffs Deputy Rick Daly was shot and killed on July 20, 2011, a video of his initial interview with investigators showed.

In the video, Bun was shown telling Georgia Bureau of Investigations Special Agent Jonathan Spurlock, and Clayton County District Attorneys Office Investigator James Payne, that he shot Daly, and was scared of what would happen to him afterward. He also told investigators that he had called both of his parents while he was on the run, and hiding in a shed. He said he apologized to them for what he had done.
