The Garden Grove Police Department today released video that shows a suspect, who was left alone in a police vehicle Tuesday night, grabbing a loaded patrol AR-15 rifle, swinging it around and becoming agitated in the moments before a standoff with a SWAT team.
“The plexi-glass partition separating the front portion of the police car from the rear was defective,” Whitney says. “The locking mechanism failed and this allowed Matthews to reach into the front portion of the police car. Matthews was able to disengage the rifle from its locked position in the front passenger compartment.”
When officers realized the man in the car was holding the rifle, they ordered him to put it down, according to Whitney, who added the single round that was fired from inside went through the front portion of the windshield.
