An attorney for the family of 23-year-old Rob Adams who was shot and killed over the weekend by San Bernardino police said Wednesday that the shooting was not justified.
Late Tuesday, San Bernardino Police Chief Darren Goodman released an edited video from the officers' body cameras. He says two officers were surveilling a parking lot outside an illegal gambling business after getting reports of a man with a weapon.
"The officers exited the vehicle and gave Adams verbal commands but he immediately ran toward two parked vehicles with the gun in his righthand," Goodman said."Seeing that he had no outlet- they believe he had intended to use the vehicle as cover to shoot at them." The chief says Adams was holding a gun in his right hand. It was loaded but never fired during the confrontation, police said.Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
