A 48-year-year old off-duty black federal police officer is still alive after being shot by Seaside Police officers early Friday morning.
Just before 1:30am, officers responded to a call reporting a loud, drunk woman at a house in the 1100 block of Amador Avenue, according to a statement by the Seaside Police Department. Officers gave her a courtesy ride back to her house in the 1200 block of Palm Avenue.
As officers were helping the woman to her door, her husband stepped outside with a gun and officers shot at him. He is Eric Glazier, a federal police lieutenant since 1997 at Naval Support Activity Monterey, the base where Naval Postgraduate School is located.
Seaside police asked District Attorney Dean Flippo to investigate the shooting, as is the SSPD's custom in officer-involved shootings. Flippo agreed, and his investigators arrived on the scene at about 2:30am.
Flippo spoke with members of the media Friday afternoon, but few details are being released at this time.
"He displayed a gun," Flippo said. Investigators aren't sure yet whether the weapon was government-issued or not. They're also not sure whether the man fired his gun, or even pointed it at his wife or the responding Seaside cops.

baggage ... not baggate. Oh well. But DoughtyOne, YOU ARE A BOOTLICKER or A JACKBOOT WHO LIKES THEM LICKED. Your own words make it crystal clear. You, dear, are the one with the baggage.
Finny, it’s a little late for you to play the “I’m a big fan of cops, honest...” card.
I do thank you for the entertainment value.
Once again, please link me to where I even once supported officers treating you or anyone else improperly.
What about THAT "baggage"?
It doesn't fit into your template so you will ignore it. I, in the meantime, will ALWAYS remember and will ALWAYS remind people of your own words: I wouldnt be too quick to dump on the responding officers. This guy may have had a attitude thinking himself to be the top dog on scene. Well see how it plays out.
You're damned right I and many Americans have a BIG damned problem with a civil servant who thinks that a citizen who has an "attitude of thinking himself to be top dog on scene" merits being SHOT. On the contrary, the cop who thinks that should be REMOVED from any career in law enforcement.
YOU are part of the problem, DoughtyOne, your mindset and your bully power-trip mentality. If you aren't willing to be a SERVANT/protector, then stay the hell OUT of law enforcement.
THAT is all the link that is needed -- see YOUR OWN WORDS.
That post has no link in it. Are you afraid to link to a post?
I believe you’re scared s-—less that you’ll have to defend your comments based on exactly what I said. I don’t blame you.
I never said the officers were right to shoot him. I did provide some scenarios that might cause them to.
I said that in the end the officers may be found at fault. I said we would have to wait and see.
The fact of the matter is, on duty officers on a scene are armed and in charge.
You love to play the game of the homeowner not knowing who they were.
Well mighty kong, some guy comes out of a home with a gun, how do they know he’s the homeowner. Does he have a big placard on his chest, saying homeowner on it? NO!
He was armed. That can cause problems in front of the police. If you can’t grasp that, you’re in over your head here.
