S-anta Ana PD 2015-06456: Supplemental Report by #2770 Page 4 of 4 <br />continued to monitor the Osorio's actions, Officer Diaz saw that he (Osorio) was speaking <br />on a cellular phone while seated in his vehicle. While he could not discern what Osorio <br />was saying, Officer Diaz was certain that he (Osorio) was indeed speaking with some <br />one. Osorio also appeared to have blood covering his face/head at this time; a condition <br />the cause of which Officer Diaz attributed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. <br />After a short while, Officer Diaz saw Osorio open the driver's door of his vehicle and <br />slowly step/fall out. At this time, with the aforementioned cellular phone still held to his <br />ear, Osorio began to turn and face the officers positioned behind his vehicle. As he did <br />so, Officer Diaz saw that Osorio had a semi-automatic, stainless steel firearm in his left <br />hand. Upon identifying the item in Osorio's hand as a pistol, Officer Diaz yelled, "Gun!" <br />At this point Osorio began to raise the weapon he held, pointing it in the direction of the <br />officers positioned to the south of his location. These officers, furthermore were <br />positionedapproximatelyten(10)feetbehindthesuspectvehicle. TheOfficerInvolved <br />Shooting then occurred. Officer Diaz stated that he heard approximately four shots fired <br />by the above indicated officers, after which several officers advanced upon Osorio and <br />took him into custody. <br />When asked to identify the persons shooting during the OIS, be they officers or Osorio, <br />Officer Diaz stated that he was only certain that Officer Shifflett had done so. Officer <br />Diaz also denied shooting and indicated that his reasons for not shooting was due to his <br />weapon being holstered and his primary duty at the time being that of an Inforination <br />Relay Officer. <br />Had the OIS not occurred, Officer Diaz believed that Osorio would have shot the officers <br />present, possibly killing one or more of them. <br />As we concluded our interview with Officer Diaz, he described the location wherein the <br />OIS occurred as a highly populated area with heavy pedestrian traffic. He also stated that <br />due to Osorio's actions he was in fear for his life, that of the other officers involved and <br />the safety of the public. <br />We concluded our interview with Officer Diaz at approximately 1843 hours. <br />Investigation continues <br />Detective M.
