He also had a laceration and abrasion on the inner surface of his lower lip. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system.
Police submitted Dorsey's fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to identify him.
Duke University Police Chief John Dailey has said that Officers Larry Carter and Jeffrey Liberto were responding to a report of a suspicious person in front of the hospital around 1 a.m. March 13.
Dorsey attacked the officers and tried to wrestle a gun away from one officer, prompting the other officer to fire, the police chief said.
