Bodycam footage shows the moments leading up to an officer-involved shooting outside of a California church on May 7. The San Diego Sheriff’s Department said a congregate reported that an elderly man had a gun inside the Church of Christ in Vista. The video shows the suspect’s grandson walking out of the church with his hands up before his grandfather emerged, pinching the handle of a pistol between his fingers while advancing toward deputies. After repeated attempts to de-escalate the situation, a deputy fired one non-fatal shot at the suspect. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks it down.

Sorry the kid had to see that, i had a similar experience at his age. Semper fi all
Oh man you could hear the anxiety in that one "PLEASE!"
The San Diego police handled it extremely well. We need more police like them throughout the rest of the country.
Bakit may lokal dito ng iglesia ni cristo. Proud to be a member of Iglesia ni Cristo. Lokal ba yan sa america.
For those that think "Seriosly why not in the head?" Its because he did'nt shoot or k*ll anyone or try to hurt them.
I love how god is nowhere to be found 🤷🏻🤷🏻
See! Cops CAN SHOOT and not kill. This man clearly is in need of help. He did not hold the gun in a manner that he was ready to shoot, since he's holding it at its tip or upside down or something.
Grandson should have stayed with him, to protect him from the police.
Wow the iglesia ni cristo even wrote as filipino
This video appeared at a few Iglesia Ni Cristo detractor pages.
The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
Why didn't they just pray him away?
He is not facing any charges?! Wtf?!
Proud of these Officers.
why do operators in california sound like total snobs?
1:10 thanks, Leidy for being a snitch in a piece of garbage
Please, I don't want to shoot you. You know it's just so much paperwork.
Hahahahaha. Had he been melanin rich they would've been screaming "drop the f ing gun mfer!".
Followed by mag dump
I think no charges for this guy is a little off and not acceptable for public safety. It doesn’t matter if you're demented or not, you can't just walk through public areas with a lethal weapon acting crazy and expect people to not take it as a serious threat. Only in America is mental health not taken seriously enough even if it's a "first world country."
A Filipino Cult
Why not in the head?
Grandpa sounded drunk.
The gunman has the guy with gun covered by holding the gun to his head.
Gramps was dangling it like a freshly plucked goober and they shot him anyway. 😂
Thank god police wear body cams, protects them, protects the public and also gives us GREAT content!
saw the whole uncensored version on another channel and after he was shot you could hear his grandson wailing and crying
U.S. officers have no clue how to deescalate a situation. Always yelling and screaming the same old mantra's "drop the gun, get on the ground". Even if a guy's head is blown off and landed 10 yards away, they still scream "get on the ground". This guy, however crazy he was, had his gun dangling from the muzzle. You have two or more cops ready to fire, yet they still go absolute paranoid about the dude. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for policing the public, but this is just uncivilized.
Seems like a leg / arm shot worked in this instance, to bad we didnt see it.
So this man won't be facing charges. Incredible. Its good to know that we can do that without facing charges. I feel much better knowing that
Grandpa probs had a touch of dementia, like 95 year old who was tasered on her walker here and was holding a knife 😮
felt horrible for the grandson… plus i use to call my grandpa PAPA too… dementia/depression in elderly is a sad thing
The second amendment is almost completely dead.
WHY ISNT SHOOTING THE ACTUAL GUN THE RIGHT SHOT 🤔 I KNOW I COULD SHOOT THAT WITH A .22 AR
Utube sux
Do i hear clucking did someone bring a chickin in here
Definitely the time to not aim for centre mass, if you did have to shoot him. Good job officers. But how are you guys in America not sick of this? The constant violence, suicides by gun, shooting murders, random gunshots, people going armed to cause fear, mass shootings… how do you live like this? And even more, how do so many of you keep repeating the same propaganda about everyone having to have guns, when the more guns you have & the easier access, the more gun violence you have? I’m so glad I live in a much safer country!
Good shooting text, thank you for using discretion and saved this man instead
The caller did great, especially in judgement to keep everyone safe
