S.A. 15-005 Investigator: DEAN FULCHER Approved By: Date of Report:03/12/2015 Date: 03/30/2015 Page 3 of 4 SHIN heard several officers discussing whether it was safe to approach the vehicle and render medical aid to the driver, as it became apparent he had shot himself. Officers were sharing information with one another as to what they could, and could not see, from their respective vantage points. A small group of officers ultimately advanced toward the car to render but aid; but prior to reaching the door were warned by other officers that OSORIO was still moving and possibly watching their actions. The officers retreated without having reached OSORIO. SHIN had maintained a position of approximately three to six feet behind the line of officers conducting the car stop. He instructed the offices who were attempting to engage OSORIO in conversation, to continue to attempt to get him to exit the vehicle with his hands up. Approximately three to five minutes after SHIN’s arrival, the driver’s side door of the pick-up opened and OSORIO slowly began to exit the vehicle. OSORIO had blood on his face and hands and appeared to be disoriented and in pain. There was blood on OSORIO’s face and hands. SHIN did not hear OSORIO make any sounds or say anything after exiting the vehicle. SHIN relayed to the officers that OSORIO was coming out of the vehicle. OSORIO turned and faced south, facing the officers, while the officers continued to command him to turn around and put his hands up. SHIN could see OSORIO was holding a silver semi-automatic handgun in his right hand, pointing it in an east/southeast direction, slightly downward, but toward the officers. OSORIO made eye contact with the officers, and for approximately three to four seconds; SHINN heard the officers ordering OSORIO to drop the gun. SHINN then heard the sound of approximately ten to twelve gunshots, fired in a short and controlled period of time of approximately two seconds. OSORIO then fell to the ground without making any statements. After the gunshots, several officers approached OSORIO and provided him with medical aid until paramedics arrived. SHIN heard a metallic sound as the officers approached, which he assumed was one of the officers kicking the gun away from OSORIO.
