The District Attorney’s office has completed its review of a violent incident last year in which two San Diego police officers were shot, officers were forced to scramble for cover and return fire, and the suspect eventually took his own life. On June 23, 2018, San Diego Police officers were called to a condominium unit in the College area to investigate a violent disturbance. Officers smelled smoke coming from the condo and called firefighters to assess the situation. Police knocked on the door for more than 20 minutes but got no response. To ensure there was no fire danger, fire personnel forced entry into the home. Joe Darwish, 28, immediately opened fire on police and fire officials with a large caliber weapon, striking one police officer in the back. Two officers returned fire while backing away from the residence, providing cover for the wounded officer. The officer who had been shot fell onto his back and was initially unable to move. After several seconds, he managed to roll onto his stomach and was able to crawl down the hallway in an attempt to get out of the line of fire. During the ensuing gun battle, a second police officer was shot by Darwish.
Darwish fired at least twenty-two shots at police. Eventually, the shooting stopped and Darwish was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. He had also been struck in the arm and face from one of the officers’ shotgun fire. The San Diego Medical Examiner ruled Darwish’s death a suicide. “This harrowing incident shows just how quickly a routine call for service can turn deadly for police officers who suddenly found themselves in the line of fire, trying to protect their wounded fellow officers and keep the shooter from endangering members of the public,” said District Attorney Summer Stephan. “It’s a tribute to these officers’ bravery and quick response that the gunman didn’t injure more people or kill the officers and firefighters involved.” Darwish was wearing a bullet-proof vest and was armed with a homemade assault weapon and a homemade 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. Neither weapon had a serial number and the guns were not registered. After a thorough review, the District Attorney’s Office determined officers were justified in using deadly force to defend against Darwish’s attempts to kill them and others. Both officers who were shot survived their injuries.

what does code 12 means?
Firefighters: there
Firefighters when the first shot: still there
Firefighters when the bodycam turns around: gone
All the states that have high gun violence have strict gun law….criminals don't follow laws…..so what the fuck would more laws do.
Gun free state, PROOF GUN RESTORATIONS DON'T WORK!!!!!
Danny had no fight in him. Like dude it’s just your shoulder you gotta fight
I'd send this to people who hold firefighters over police
Why wasn’t this on the news?
Wrong people got shot?
Did they get the guyâ“
In today's ammo prices this shootout would've tripled the national debt.
he soooo lucky that shield came in on time
Is that a fully-auto rifle I hear??
So what is the backstory here? Was the gunman dropped or taken alive? Were they there for warrents? … or something else? Would love some more details but I know its three years old though.
Damn those firefighters were like ✌ðŸÂ¾ðŸÂƒâ€Â♀ï¸ÂðŸÂƒâ€Â♂ï¸Â
Fat cops are always the first to fall because he's a big target
In a situation like this they should just throw a hand grenade into the room.
if you ever needed a motive for going on a diet this officer got one you need to be light enough that your friends can save your Ass !!
Today's Lesson: Interior walls provide concealment, not cover.
Fuck ya getem son
Cops must be more agressive towards bad people and the ones who don't obey the cops.
It's very dengerous to be a cop nowdays.
Where is the rest of the video? Dont post the beginning, but not the end of an incident. Rrrrrr
Drug dealer gang bangers suck
The cop has 1000 ping, the shots registered like 4 seconds later
1 shot fired
Body cameras audio: A-10 Warthog intensifies
danny needs to get in shape or retire
Too bad nobody had a grenade to lob in there â—ï¸Â
Does somebody know how this ended up, the guy is dead, what were his reasons etc
why domestic calls are the worst? because they are invading someones home. a place they may choose to fight to the death over.
Did the long gun ever get there?
Did the shield get hit ad it sounds like it was delivered just in time.
sweep the leg next time danny,
i hope nobody got caught in a crossfire
