A police officer in the Californian city of San Diego shot and killed a
mentally ill black man who was unarmed after his sister called authorities
for assistance when he began acting strangely.
.
Police from the El Cajon suburb released a statement late on Tuesday
night, several hours after the shooting outside the Broadway Village
shopping centre, confirming the man died in a hospital. His family
identified him as 30-year-old Alfred Olango.
.
Police were called by Olango's sister who said he was acting strangely and
not himself. The aftermath of the fatal shooting was filmed by a bystander
who posted the clip on Facebook. That video has been viewed about 40,000
times.
.
"Why couldn't you tase him? I told you he is sick - and you guys shot
him!" Olango's sister can be heard telling officers in the video. "I
called police to help him, not to kill him."
.
Jeff Davis, the El Cajon police chief, said the man was not armed, adding
Olango ignored calls to remove his hands from his pockets and pulled out
an object.
.
Davis said one officer used a stun-gun against him while another fired his
weapon because they felt threatened.
.
"At one point, the subject rapidly drew an object from his front pants
pocket, placed both hands together and extended them rapidly toward the
officer taking up what appeared to be a shooting stance," Davis said in a
statement.
.
"At this time, the officer with the electronic control device discharged
his weapon. Simultaneously the officer with the firearm discharged his
weapon several times, striking the subject."
.
Witnesses said they heard five shots as police confronted Olango.
.
Davis said the two officers involved in the shooting, each with more than
20 years of service, had been placed on administrative leave pending the
investigation.
.
Local news agency CBS8 reported that "several witnesses alleged that the
officers were unduly quick to open fire and suggested that their actions
had been influenced by the fact that they were dealing with a black man,
one they described as mentally challenged".
.
"One man angrily told reporters at the news conference that the victim was
suffering a seizure prior to the shooting, and another described seeing
him with his hands raised at the moment the shots sounded," CBS8 said.
.
The shooting spurred protests at the scene for several hours, alleging
police racism. Demonstrations were also later held outside the police
department.
