In a news conference, the parents of a man with schizophrenia who was shot and killed by an off-duty LAPD officer at a Costco in Corona described begging the officer not to open fire: “I said, ‘We have no guns, and my son is sick.’ He still shot.'

It was a typical Friday night at Costco.

The family was at Costco shopping for Father’s Day and had been there for about 30 or 40 minutes when they stopped at a stand for sausage samples, Galipo said. At some point, Kenneth got into a physical altercation with the police officer, who was holding a child. Paola French has said she believed that Kenneth French pushed or shoved the officer, Galipo said. Other witnesses have described Kenneth punching the officer.

“We believe he was not knocked unconscious,” Galipo said. “All of his actions, putting the baby down…saying he’s a police officer [are] not the actions of someone who was knocked unconscious.” “This wasn’t a little push — this was a severe assault,” Ira Salzman said Monday. “My client suffered a concussion.”
