Authorities are investigating the fatal shooting of a 32-year-old woman suburban San Diego after she allegedly hit a Border Patrol agent with her car.
Investigators said Valeria Alvarado ran down the agent with her car as border patrol agents were in a Chula Vista neighborhood to serve a felony warrant on Friday.
The agent said he had no choice but to defend himself and fired at Alvarado get her to stop the car.
Alvarado was hit by five bullets.
According to eye witnesses, the shooting left the mother of five with bullet holes in her face, arms, and chest.
"She literally ran our agent down, the agent actually was impacted, was hit by the vehicle and carried several hundred yards on the hood before fearing for his life did discharge his weapon to get the vehicle to stop," Border Patrol Deputy Chief Rodney Scott said.
Alvarado's husband, Gilbert Alvarado said he wants the shooting investigated.
"I want justice. Yes. Whoever shot my wife, that guy whoever that is, that guy needs to get shot," he said.
Alvarado's family called the killing senseless.
"Where's the evidence that my wife threatened a trained officer? You know? He's a trained officer to use lethal force, shoot my wife like that and just not even call an ambulance?" Gilbert Alvarado said.
The FBI and Chula Vista Police are investigating the shooting. Officials have not released the name of the agent involved in the incident.

I honestly side with the border patrol agent here, it seems like the woman wouldn't stop her car after hitting him.

I don't think you quite understand justice

assuming all of the eyewitnesses are lying and she actually ran him over without purpose yeah i side with him but right now i'd wait for an investigation and some evidence before picking sides

That doesn't sound like the best of investigations.
I still feel bad for the guy though.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;37865991]do you mean to avoid arrest or to avoid getting shot?[/QUOTE]
since there's no evidence yet and the investigation is still ongoing there's no way to know, but i would say she was probably trying to avoid arrest.

You're cruising for a bruising mister.
Should have shot her in the knees.

i don't think she was ever the target of arrest. the video said the agent was in the neighborhood to serve a warrant to someone else, not her

i know its so whacky that someone would dare question the official story presented by the police which contradicts every eyewitness so far lol :downs:
[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;37866183]Should have shot her in the knees.[/QUOTE]
...Wouldn't her legs be concealed by the hood, dash, etc? Unless he had X-Ray vision and knew where to fire at exactly while being carried on the hood.
It's an unlikely scenario. Chances are he missed some shots too.
wow why didn't he tase her
[quote]"He's a trained officer to use lethal force, shoot my wife like that and just not even call an ambulance?" Gilbert Alvarado said.[/quote]
Assuming the official story is true, did he really not get the thought that calling an ambulance for the person you shot might not be the first thing on your mind if said person hit you with her car?
stop rating me zings I am a foot
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37866234]where is this eyewitness testimoney coming from that so surely destroys the police story
All it says eyewitnesses said is that she had holes in her head[/QUOTE]
just the part that says he approaches from the back of the car and begins shooting her, then shows his badge, and the complete lack of eyewitnesses reporting their little car crash
Just noticed the OP forgot to post the source.
[QUOTE=Greenen72;37866231]wow why didn't he tase her[/QUOTE]
The news title says the guy got run over by a car not a 300 kilogram woman.

He was joking about how just about every time a cop kills someone, there's some guy who says they should've just tased em.

oh never mind, the video autoplay ad was annoying so I muted it and forgot about it
I legitimately am sorry for this
[QUOTE=plunger435;37866305]can you cite these supposed eyewitness statements?[/QUOTE]
ya the video that is at the very top of OP's source
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;37866300]He was joking about how just about every time a cop kills someone, there's some guy who says they should've just tased em.[/QUOTE]
I could guess, just doin' a joke response hence the "300 kg woman" part.
