DETAILS:
On November 13th, 2018, at approximately 3:27 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to a 911 call of a female in the street waving a firearm. The first officer on scene found her in the residential street in possession of a small revolver. She appeared distressed, screaming, and suffering from a mental health crisis.
More officers responded and contained her to the center of the street. The female put the gun down but was still unresponsive to the directions given by the officers. While distracted, an officer ran in to separate her from the firearm at the same time another officer deployed his Electronic Control Device (taser) and she was taken into custody without further incident.
The female was taken to a local medical facility to be evaluated pursuant to a mental health hold. Although the revolver appeared to be real, it was discovered that it was a black toy cap gun.
The surrounding schools were placed on a temporary lock down during the incident.
