Don’t steal car, run from police, then try to grab for a gun . Thank you SDPD
Great job SDPD, always keeping the community safe from those who choose to create chaos. He didn’t comply with the officers orders so they had to act accordingly
Good job SPD
They already released body work camera footage. Haven’t seen it yet but they must think they had every right to shoot
