Is it idiots on parade today? I swear the hits just keep on coming! Another criminal challenging an armed officer only this time with a big metal pipe. The officers responded after reports that he was swinging the metal pipe at traffic. He attacked the responding officer and ended up getting shot as a result.
KIII Reports that an investigation is underway into an officer involved shooting that sent a man to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds Tuesday morning.
The Corpus Christi Police Department said the man who was shot was aggressively waving a pipe-like object at passing vehicles before taking aim at a responding officer. That’s when the officer opened fire, striking the man multiple times.
It happened just after 8 a.m. Tuesday at the corner of Weber and Gollihar roads.
A nearby witness told 3News he saw the man walking down the street barefoot wearing a hoodie and shores before the commotion started. Then he heard the shots.
“It’s shocking to see something like this happen,” passerby Estephan Bueno said. “You never know.”
A Ring Camera at a home in a nearby neighborhood captured the sounds of gunfire as the homeowner took out her trash.
“The gentleman turned and attacked the officer with the pipe,” CCPD Chief Mike Markle said. “There were shots fired. The individual was struck and taken to the hospital.”
“He didn’t do what the cop said and the guy got aggressive and he shot him,” witness David Saucedo said.
