Dramatic body camera footage shows several shootings in California, where the suspect begins shooting at a police officer before being fatally shot.
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday that the officer who returned fire, fatally striking 22-year-old Matthew-Tuan Ahn Tran, was legally justified in using deadly force.
Video from the deadly confrontation shows Officer Abigal Fox yelling, “Hey, hey, hey,” as her partner, Officer Mark Milward, turns around, trying to warn Tran to put the gun down.
After being hit in the chest, Milward can be seen falling to the ground.
According to investigators, Tran fired two shots at Milward, one of which struck him.
In response, Fox fired a total of five shots at the boy, one of which hit him in the head.
He was pronounced dead around 7:26 p.m., and a toxicology test found THC, methamphetamine and other substances in his blood.
