“Police responded about 12:30 a.m. to a report of a man brandishing a handgun in the 7900 block of Silver Birch Avenue, a neighborhood in the southwest corner of the city, Bakersfield police Sgt. Gary Carruesco said.
When police arrived, a witness pointed to a man in the driveway of a residence. An officer fired several rounds at the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Just point and shoot... wow...just wow.
This doesn’t make sense, the man is pointed out and the officer starts shooting? Either total incompetent officer who committed murder or something else involved. Can any officer be that stupid, yes I supposed but just having a potential suspect pointed out and then opening fire without making contact? Lots of gaps.
