San Jose Police Shooting Ruled Justified | San Jose News

In a shocking July incident captured on body cam, two San Jose police officers fired 24 shots to stop Mateusz Dzierbun, who had fatally stabbed his 9-year-old son. Despite Dzierbun’s claims he was protecting his child from torture and warning officers he’d kill one of them, prosecutors ruled the officers’ actions justified. One officer opened fire after being charged with knives; the other said he had to save himself, his partner, and the child. Officers rushed to the boy, whose throat was slashed. A witness called the shooting “assassination-style,” though later called it a tragedy. Dzierbun’s death was San Jose’s second fatal police shooting that year.
