Newly Released Video Shows Man Shot By Police In San Jose Was Actually The Hero Who Disarmed Man Who Pulled The Gun

AN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose police on Tuesday released an edited video stemming from a brawl inside La Victora that ended with an officer shooting an East Bay college football player who was holding a gun he had grabbed during the fight.

Police initially rushed to the restaurant thinking the fight might be related to a homicide that occurred a block away and they had previously explained that they shot K'aun Green because they thought he might be connected to that death or be an active shooter in the neighborhood.

But the video confirmed what the 20-year-old had said from the onset: Sgt. Christian Camarillo made the department's first formal acknowledgement that Green did not bring a gun into the taqueria on March 27.

And for the first time on Tuesday, Camarillo identified the officer who shot and injured Green as Mark McNamara, a 4-year-veteran who is on routine administrative leave. McNamara shot Green four times in the abdomen and the knee.

Police still maintain that McNamara shot Green because he did not heed officers' orders to drop the weapon he was holding in his left hand. But now police and Green both agree that he had grabbed the gun from someone else - 30-year-old Bryan Carter – who was subsequently arrested for being a felon in possession of a ghost gun. Carter has been out on bail since his arrest.

Green insists he never heard the police commands.
