Narrative: Narrative On 12/01/24, Corporal Miranda and I were working a two manned patrol function in a marked police vehicle. At approximately 1732 hours, we responded to the intersection of Broadway and 2nd Street to assist officers who were involved in a shooting. Upon our arrival, there were several other Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) Officers present taking cover behind a police vehicle. The SAPD officers were giving a suspect commands. I was informed by the SAPD officers on scene that there was a shotgun underneath the suspect, by his left arm. An arrest team was formulated to take the suspect into custody. I formed part of the arrest team and was tasked with securing (hands on) the suspect. Once we (arrest team) made our approach, I saw what appeared to be a brown sawed off shot gun next to the suspects left arm.due to the fact that the suspect appeared to be within arm’s reach of the shotgun, I grabbed both of the suspects legs and pulled him away from the firearm. I then assisted in rolling the suspect onto his stomach. SAPD officers then placed handcuffs on the suspect’s wrists. The suspect was subsequently taken into custody. I was then tasked with canvassing the scene for surveillance cameras and/or witnesses. It should be noted that prior to the officer involved shooting, Santa Ana Police Department Dispatch had received numerous calls reference a male brandishing a shotgun in the area of 1st and Spurgeon Street. I first spoke to who was the general manager at Gus’s Chicken, 102 N Sycamore. Per there was cameras on the exterior of the restaurant however I was unable to review them due to technical difficulties. I next spoke to who was the supervisor at CVS Pharmacy, 102 N Main Street. Per there was cameras on the exterior of the business however I was unable to review them due to poor quality footage. I next observed the business of , 219 E 1st Street. The business had cameras on the exterior however I was unable to review any footage due to the business being closed at the time. I lastly spoke to who was a shift lead at Mcdonalds,301 E 1st Street. Per was not allowed to review any footage without the general manager being present. It should be noted that the business has cameras on the exterior of the building.
