Video Shows Huntington Beach Officer Shooting Man Outside 7/11 Store (Warning Graphic)




Disturbing video shows a Huntington Beach, California officer fatally shooting a male  outside of a 7/11 convenience store.

Video was captured by a witness who posted the crazy clip on Twitter Friday.

The suspect appears to be wielding something in his right hand as he stumbles on a curb and stands up.

Huntington Beach Police Information Officer Angela Bennett told Heavy that the incident occurred during the morning hours at the 7/11 in the 6000 block of Edinger Avenue. She said the suspect got into an “altercation” with the responding officer before the shooting occurred. The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

At about 9:30 this morning an officer contacted a male outside the 7/11 at Springdale Road and Edinger and an altercation ensued,” Bennett said. “An officer-involved shooting followed, and we’re in our early stages of investigation to determine the details.”

The altercation with the officer can be seen in another video posted to Twitter by the same user. In it, the officer appears to have the suspect pinned to the ground. There appears to be a struggle on the ground between the two, and the suspect grabs at the officer’s waist, taking an unknown item out of his belt. The suspect is able to get away from the officer, who brandishes his weapon.
