DETALLES: Aproximadamente 12:22 PM on Wednesday, 2/5/14, the Oxnard Police Department’s Emergency Communications Center received a call from Ventura County Behavioral Health. The staff member reported that a 42 year-old woman called Behavioral Health and said that she was going to commit suicide. The female said that she was at Del Sol Park with a loaded handgun, and that she was going to kill herself.
Oxnard police officers were dispatched to respond to this call. The primary officers who responded had previously attended Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). CIT training is designed to assist officers in de-escalating potentially dangerous situations with persons suffering from mental illness.
Officers made contact with the woman in the park, and attempted to gain her cooperation. The officers indicated over the police radio that the woman had a handgun, and was non-compliant.
Preliminary information indicates that shortly after the officers contacted her, the woman raised the handgun and pointed it at the officers. Two officers fired their service weapons.
The woman was struck by gunfire. No officers were injured. Officers immediately requested that emergency medical services respond. The woman was transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries.
The involved officers have been placed on administrative leave, que es el procedimiento estándar.
At the time of this release, the investigation is underway, and investigators are still on scene. An update news release will be issued tomorrow (Jueves 2/6/2014).
