ORANGE, Calif. - The Orange Police Department had planned to release body-worn camera footage of the deadly mass shooting that occurred in March, however during a brief press conference officials said video will no longer be released as it could compromise their investigation.
The police department scheduled a press conference Wednesday for 11:30 a.m. but after keeping reporters waiting for over an hour, Lt. Jennifer Amat with the Orange Police Department came out to say the body camera footage from the responding officers will not be released to the media or public.
ORANGE, Calif.
A plan by Southern California police to release body-worn camera video from officers who responded to a deadly office shooting was quashed by prosecutors.
Police in the city of Orange called a news conference Wednesday to release footage related to the March shooting that killed four people, including a 9-year-old boy. An hour later, police spokeswoman Lt. Jennifer Amat reversed course, saying the district attorney was concerned it could jeopardize the case against the suspected shooter. Amat declined to answer questions about the decision.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer sent a letter earlier in the day asking police not to release the nine-minute video they had prepared, which included portions of 911 calls and footage in which gunshots are heard.
