San Jose, CA 9:30 PM August 28,2002
My next door neighbor went into the street near his home and observed suspicious men. He fired in the air while running after them to scare them away. He said they were tampering with his car. A vehicle fled the scene. Many of the neighbors called 911.
The first visible response came from neighbors, we were incredulous. This guy has been a problem for years. We are all very skeptical about his story. The skepticism was so deep that we stood around unarmed to watch the cops. He said that they fled while he was shooting, but continued to search the bushes with a flashlight and gun long after the incident..
The police chopper flew over with FLIR and the squad cars tried to block the streets to prevent escape. No one was caught. It was probably more than ten minutes before he was disarmed. They put him in cuffs. I don't know the final outcome or charge.
He did tell several different stories while I was there.
