A video showing an off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer firing a shot while holding a 13-year-old Latino boy during an incident near his home in Anaheim has led to protests in the California city. Nobody was struck by the gunfire, which occurred as several teens were standing near the officer.
Christian Dorscht has been identified by his parents as the teen seen in the video, which you can watch below. The LAPD officer involved in the incident has not yet been identified and has been put on 72-hour leave while an investigation is conducted, officials said.
The incident began as part of an ongoing dispute between the officer and teens from a nearby high school. He has been angry that they are walking across his lawn, Anaheim Police said. In a statement they said there has been “ongoing issues with juveniles walking across the officer’s property.”
Christian and an unnamed 15-year-old boy were arrested after the incident, but the officer was not charged. He could still face charges after the results of an investigation are presented to the Orange County District Attorney’s office, police said.
