Family Dials 9-1-1 to get Medical Help for a Family Member. Cops Show Up Instead, Kill Her
A family in San Mateo, California called 911 to get medical assistance for their 18-year-old family member who happened to have special needs.
Instead of receiving medical assistance, the family says police showed up instead and killed her.
San Mateo County police have a different story. Authorities say they received a 9-1-1 call about an armed woman standing in the street.
“Deputies arrived on scene,” Sheriff’s department spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt tells KRON 4. “Shortly thereafter there was a confrontation where the deputy was in fear for his life and as a result he fired his weapon.”
“She has special needs and we just want answers,” the woman’s brother, Tiny Serrano says. “Who are we supposed to call now when we need help when who is supposed to help us is killing our kids?”
The deputy who opened fire is now on paid administrative leave. The D.A’s office and sheriff’s detectives are now investigating the shooting.
