S.A. 15-005 Investigator: DEAN FULCHER Approved By: Date of Report:03/26/2015 Date: 04/13/2015 Page 4 of 4 BERWANGER, SWEET, and DEMARCO retreated to their positions of cover, behind SAPD vehicles, without having reached the cab of the pick-up. BERWANGER heard officers to his left, state that OSORIO was still moving inside of the cab of the pick-up truck. An additional officer indicated that OSORIO was bringing a cellular telephone up to his ear. BERWANGER could see that OSORIO was holding something up to the right side of his head and officers, who had a better view of OSORIO, indicated he was on the telephone. BERWANGER felt that OSORIO was still a threat at that time. For approximately three minutes, following the gunshot, officers continued to plead with OSORIO to drop the gun. BERWANGER then heard an officer state that OSORIO was exiting the vehicle and that he was in possession of a gun. BERWANGER was unable to see OSORIO or the driver side door of the pick-up from his vantage point. BERWANGER then heard an approximately two second burst of gunshots and saw OSORIO fall to the ground. BERWANGER was only able to see OSORIO from under the pick-up truck. OSORIO fell to his knees, with a silver semi-automatic hand gun in his left hand, and then fell forward onto his chest. OSORIO did not move after falling to his chest. BERWANGER did not see which officers fired their weapons. Two SAPD officers, who had donned latex gloves, and SAPD Sergeant DON HUMPHRIES, who had retrieved a ballistic shield, advanced on OSORIO and secured him.
