Officer Shoots Fellow Cop in Garage

Two Pasadena police officers got into trouble when one accidentally shot the other during what officials called “horseplay” in the department’s parking garage. The injured officer survived, but the shooter, Roy Alatorre, was fired. Chief Gene Harris slammed the incident as a violation of safety standards and emphasized it doesn’t reflect the department’s values. The video footage was withheld for nearly a year — longer than California’s 45-day rule — to ensure a thorough investigation. While disciplinary action is complete, the LA County DA is still reviewing whether any criminal charges will follow. The mayor called the behavior “extremely unacceptable,” and the public is watching closely for legal outcomes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
