Crazy Guy Tries To Get Into Woman's Apartment, Cops Come, Tries To Take Gun From Cop

Anaheim police shot a man to death Dec. 12 after he wrestled a gun away from an officer, according to a video released by the Anaheim Police Department on Saturday, Jan. 25.




Until now, police have not publicly disclosed why they shot Taevonte Art Emmanuel.




“He’s trying to take my gun – trying to take my gun,” the officer can be heard shouting on the video as he and two other officers fought the man. The officer’s uniform-mounted camera is pointed toward the ceiling of a parking garage during the fight, indicating that the officer was likely on his back. “He’s got it! He’s got it!” the officer then yells.



Moments later, at least six shots can be heard. Emmanuel, 34, of Anaheim, is then shown lying face down. He died at a hospital, Anaheim police said. No officers were reported shot.



Investigations by the Police Department and Orange County District Attorney’s Office are ongoing, Deputy Chief Rick Armendariz said in the video.



“We withhold judgment and do not draw any conclusions about whether or not our officers acted in a manner consistent with our policies and in accordance with the law until all the facts are known and the investigations are complete,” Armendariz said.
