Off-duty officer shoots 13-year-old boy (video)

Incident took place in California

Newsroom February 24 09:34

The mayor and police chief of Anaheim, California, say they are disturbed by video that shows an off-duty Los Angeles police officer firing his gun during a confrontation with a teenager. The dispute occurred outside the officer’s house over the issue of teens walking across his property, something Quezada said was an ongoing dispute. The officer got into an argument with a 13-year-old boy and wrestled with him while trying to detain him.
Officials said the first 911 calls from the scene came from either the officer or his father.
Parts of the encounter were recorded and posted on social media.
People who watched the video online became upset when they learned the officer was not arrested. About 200 to 300 people protested outside the officer’s home Wednesday night.
A total of 23 people were arrested on misdemeanor charges as officers ordered protesters to disperse, according to the Anaheim police. Police said the 13-year-old boy allegedly threatened to shoot the officer, but the teen told CNN affiliate KTLA he said he would sue the officer.
The eighth-grader said the conflict started when he and other students were walking home from school and a female student stepped on the officer’s lawn. He said the officer cursed at the girl, and that’s when he spoke up. The teenager said the officer then “came at me.”
