While the victim was hospitalized in serious condition, the author of this bug, who recently joined the police force, was immediately fired.
A chilling police blunder captured by its author’s “bodycam”. A 17-year-old boy from San Antonio (USA) is on the verge of death after being shot multiple times by a police officer who believed he was a wanted suspect.
10 shots in seconds
According to NBC News, the scene happened on the evening of October 2 in a San Antonio McDonald’s parking lot. Called out for harassment, the nature of which was not specified, officer James Brennand, who recently joined the police force, first abandoned his mission by approaching a parked car unrelated to the case on the grounds that it “looked like a vehicle that had escaped him the day before”.
Images captured by his body camera show that while opening the door of the vehicle in question, the young recruit fell on a young man who was quietly eating a hamburger and gruffly asked him to get out of the car. Moments later, as the young driver frantically closed the door and tried to flee, the officer opened fire and fired a dozen bullets at the vehicle.
The vital prognosis of the victim is still busy
It turns out, however, that the 17-year-old had absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Seriously injured, he was taken to the nearest hospital while the policeman clumsily tried to explain himself to his superiors. After this serious violation of his mission, the lunatic of the deduction was logically fired with immediate effect.
“Nothing the officer did that night was consistent with our training or our policies,” said local police chief William McManus, quoted by NBC News, who also clarified that the victim’s vital prognosis was valid on Monday, March 10. October, was still in force. In any case, an investigation has been launched and several charges could be brought against the originator of this shocking error.
