Off-duty officer who shot and killed man inside Southern California Costco was attacked without warning as he held his toddler son, policeman's attorney says.
The off-duty officer who shot and killed a man inside a Southern California Costco last week was attacked without warning as he held his toddler son, the policeman's attorney said Monday.
Winslow told The Associated Press the officer was briefly knocked unconscious and his 1 ½-year-old son also fell to the ground. Rick Shureih, French's cousin, told the Press-Enterprise in Riverside that French was gentle and didn't speak because of a mental condition that started in adulthood. He did not provide details on the condition, but he said French had"to be pretty much monitored" and his cousin's parents, Russell and Paola French, accompanied him everywhere.
Corona police did not respond to requests for information about Winslow's statements, what immediately preceded the shooting and whether anyone other than the officer had a weapon.
