S.A. 15-005 <br />Investigator: VIVIAN TABB Approved By: <br />Date of Report:03/30/2015 Date: 05/20/2015 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />At some point thereafter, MAJORS heard one gunshot go off inside the cab of the <br />Toyota truck, and the truck began to accelerate loudly for approximately 10-15 seconds. <br />MAJORS yelled to Officer MIKE GIBBONS . He <br />heard GIBBONS put the information out on the radio. Several seconds later, MAJORS observed <br />officers approach the suspect vehicle, on the sidewalk, from the right side of OSORIO’s vehicle. <br />OSORIO . MAJORS yelled to the <br />officers approaching the suspect vehicle, “Back out, back out, we have nothing but time.” <br />MAJORS thought there was no reason to rush in because he could see OSORIO was still moving. <br />During this time, MAJORS saw officer RYAN SHIFFLET arrive on scene and arm himself with his <br />rifle and took a position behind a tree on the west side of Main Street. Officer GIBBONS was on <br />MAJORS’ right side with a .40 caliber rifle. <br />A short time after, MAJORS saw the driver’s door to the truck open. As OSORIO stepped <br />out, MAJORS saw the handgun in OSORIO’s right hand and then OSORIO transferred the <br />handgun to his left hand. OSORIO was bleeding from the face and he kept wiping his face with <br />his hands. As OSORIO was exiting the vehicle, he directed the pistol back towards the officers <br />and began to level the pistol off. Officer MAJORS stated he was concerned for the safety of the <br />officers, specifically the officers in unit 864 and 853 because it appeared OSORIO was pointing <br />the handgun back towards those vehicles. MAJORS feared he may try to hurt the officers <br />knowing that OSORIO had assaulted someone earlier . <br />MAJORS made a judgment call at that time, even though he had a clear shot of OSORIO and a <br />good back drop, not to shoot his firearm because he knew there was a long rifle to his left with <br />Officer SHIFFLET and a long rifle to his right with Officer GIBBONS and the rounds from the long <br />rifles would be more stable and more effective from that distance than from his handgun.
