After they say he pointed a weapon at them that turned out to be a fake gun. A teenager survived and our Crime Reporter henry lee is here. The boy was the one that call police in the first place. The boy called police and said that there was a man in the park in santa rosa with a gun. The cops didnt know it and they thought there was a man in there so when they arrived, at the part, they saw this teenager in the park with a gun and what happened was they quickly told them to drop the gun and he pointed it at an officer and the officer hit him in the foot. They werent aiming there but that is what happened. They learned later on that he had taken a suicide note intending to have officers shoot and kill him. They also determined that his gun was fake and undergoing psychiatric evaluation. He is cooperating. I spoke to a Police Captain about the difficulty that arrives when family members grapple with the kind of incident and officers themselves when they are forced to shoot someone. Nobody wakes up wanting to go out and shoot somebody. We get into this profession to help the public and provide a service and to give back to the community. When Something Like this happens it could be traumatic for the officers and dispatchers involved in this. After the fact and you learn that it is a minor, you know, it can be traumatic. There is a lot of emotions involved. The officers and the dispatchers that work for agencies across the nation, we are all human we all have families and some of us have kids about that age. And you know, it can affect us. So we were talking about how lucky this boy is to be alive because officers are trained to shoot and in this case it is dark and it happened at 11 30 last night and ended up being wounded. He will survive and hopefully he will get the help he needs and everyone will come out unscathed physically. You never arm at the arm or foot because there is chances that you will miss. Any indication how far the Police Officers were when they shot and did they have any inclination at all that maybe this guy wanted to be deliberatedly shot or were they in this case shooting as they do to stop the threat . I dont know if they perhaps check themselves. If they meal determine whether or not this was a teenager. They have no idea whether it is an adult or man. Just very tragic. All indications are that this boy intended for those officers to shoot him. And given everything we have seen these days about officer involved shootings things happen in a split second and again and again when the officers are confronted with a suspect that appears to have a weapon and they order that person to drop the weapon and that person does not drop the weapon. We have seen too often what happens. They fire and they fire to stop the threat. Thats right and today, ko incidentally the santa clara pd cleared two officers of liability, they shot and killed somebody on Christmas Day and he was also the one that initiated the Police Officers response by calling 911 and as we saw earlier the videos and also still showing that he charged at the officers. Have to be careful. Do we know anything about the 15yearold and the issues he was facing. Not at this point but he will undergo a psychiatric evaluation and if anyone out there has issues that they are grappling with, there is hot lines to call and you can talk to a trusted individual. There is body cam video of the event and they will go after that. Step by step analysis of the video and not releasing it but part of the investigation. Henry, thank you. The Highway Patrol is trying to track down a driver that opened fire in a road rage incident. The shooting happened in the westbound lane of the 580 near regatta boulevard before 6 00.
