S.A. 12-031 <br />Investigator: BRETT ANDERSEN Approved By: <br />Date of Report: 01/22/2013 Date:01/23/13 <br />Page 17 of 29 <br />that he’s, he’s committed. He’s ready to take me down, it’s either I commit to <br />it, or I let him, I let him take my back and now I could be dead… <br />ANDERSEN: Uh-huh. <br />GARCIA: …in seconds. Um, so once that image is broken I tell him again don’t move, <br />don’t move, and he’s continuing. I shoot him once, I see the light, ah…the <br />muzzle, it hits him straight in the chest. He doesn’t jump over, he doesn’t step <br />back, he continues. Um… <br />ANDERSEN: Continues coming towards you? <br />GARCIA: Continues to come at me at that time I immediately do two more rounds, but it <br />was within seconds, it was… <br />ANDERSEN: Uh-huh. <br />GARCIA: …a bam, bam, and it hits him. He screams out, “you got me” and jumps over <br />now. Um, I ah got off…got on the radio 31-345… 998, 1033, and when I jumped <br />over the wall, my partner ALCALA was already on the opposite side. (CLEARING <br />THROAT) Now, um, it’s…based on my training experience the way this male… his <br />demeanor, his actions uh, when I was in training I had this, this one guy holding <br />onto his waistband as he ran and he dumped two guns. Um, I like I said I’ve had <br />suicide, suicidal guys with a knife, even with a taser, um still stick themselves in <br />the chest. This guy was within feet of me. Um, if he had a gun, he could have <br />easily shot me right there and then. If he had a knife he could have easily <br />stabbed me up here. Um, if you asked me if I feared for my life, yeah, I believed <br />his threats were there, and I believed he had the capacity and the…uh…he was <br />fully committed to wanting to kill somebody that night. <br />ANDERSEN: Okay. Now when you say he came up, came up from in here, did he come over <br />this plastic, I mean I’m sorry, not plastic this wooden fence here?
