SA-15-005 Investigator: BRUCE LINN #327 Approved By: Date of Report:3/13/2015 Date: 04/02/2015 Page 3 of 6 The white pickup was now completely stopped. Officer GIBBONS handled the bulk of the radio traffic at the stop. GIBBONS radioed he needed all southbound traffic blocked at Main Street and traffic blocked east and west at Pine Street. GIBBONS could not see a gun at this point, but he heard other officers yelling the suspect had a gun and had just chambered a round. GIBBONS heard Officer David Garcia yell, “Don’t do it. Drop the gun!” several times, repeatedly. Officer GARCIA was to GIBBON’s right and directly behind the white pickup. The driver’s window of the pickup was down. I showed GIBBONS’ a sketch of the scene on a piece of paper. He described the sketch as an accurate depiction of the incident. GIBBONS was in unit 899. SAPD Officer Nicole QUIJAS was to his right in unit 864. GIBBONS wrote in blue pen the names and placements of the other officers and marked units on scene he was aware of. He was focused to his right so he did not know who was to his left. He estimated the distance from his car to the pickup truck to be about 2 car lengths, about 30- 40 feet. GIBBONS was not sure who yelled out the suspect had just chambered a round, but it came from one of the officers to his right. GIBBONS could see the driver. It looked like the driver was moving around inside the truck. a bit. . He again heard officers yell, “Don’t do it!” Approximately 2 minutes went by, and then GIBBONS heard one faint pop. It did not sound loud and it was definitely a single shot which came from the direction of the white pickup. GIBBONS radioed shots were fired but not a 998/officer involved shooting; but
