Video clips have been released of a deputy shooting a seemingly suicidal 77-year-old man who appears to be holding the butt end of a pistol with two fingers outside a Vista church.
Despite deputies' repeated commands — and requests from his grandson — to drop the gun, the man kept walking slowly in their direction, holding the weapon loosely at arm's length — seemingly clutching it by the end of the handgrip, not in a position that would allow him to readily fire it.
In response, the armed man yells back,"Shoot," several times. A moment later, the deputy fires a single round, prompting the suspect to drop the gun and collapse onto the pavement. It does not appear from the video that the man made any attempt to adjust his grip on the butt of the pistol. At one point prior to the shooting, daylight can be seen through the trigger guard of the weapon.
"So, the gentleman walks out, and he’s holding the gun up in the air in a way that’s, you know, questionable, because it's weird," Gary said."You know, like, who holds a gun like that?" Gary, who has decades of law-enforcement experience and has trained others on how to properly use firearms, demonstrated why that was the case using a rubber training gun.
