S.A. 15-005 <br />Investigator: R. SMITH Approved By: <br />Date of Report:7/1/15 Date: 07/08/2015 <br />Page 18 of 26 <br />SMITH: Okay. (PAUSE) So when you lost sight of the suspect having the gun in his <br />hand you indicated that it went towards his upper torso and at some <br />point you then heard a gunshot? <br />QUIJAS: Correct. <br />SMITH: Okay. Did you have any belief or know that he had fired a round at <br />himself? <br />QUIJAS: I did not know where he fired that round. Uh, I *** could only, you know, <br />I hate to use the word assume but based on the information I had at that <br />time that the officer said he’s putting it up to his head or chin and then I <br />heard the round, uh, I figured that he had a self-inflicted wound. <br />SMITH: Okay. And you think his driver side window was either partially down or <br />all the way down? <br />QUIJAS: Yeah, I can't recall, uh, exactly if it was fully down but I do remember <br />being able to see, uh, the suspect through that window so. <br />SMITH: Were you able to see him when that shot came, when you heard that <br />shot? The self-inflicted gunshot I should say. <br />QUIJAS: Uh, no because he had sat back in his seat, in the driver seat, so I lost, uh, <br />visual of his body. <br />SMITH: Okay. (PAUSE) After the self-inflicted gunshot you said that the engine <br />started to rev, did the ve-, his vehicle move at all? <br />QUIJAS: No. <br />SMITH: Okay. <br />QUIJAS: Thank goodness.
