LOS ANGELES, Pacoima --- On February 16, 2024, approximately at 7:50 a.m., officers from the Foothill Division responded to a report of a Restraining Order Violation at a residence in the 13200 block of Paxton Street.
The caller, identified as the Person Reporting (PR), indicated that she had a restraining order against her husband, who was present at the location.
Upon arrival, officers were directed by a witness to a rear house on the property, where they met with the PR who confirmed the presence of the suspect, later identified as 52-year-old Pete Garcia. Despite officers' requests, Garcia refused to exit the location.
After verbal communication attempts failed, officers initiated entry. A physical struggle ensued as they attempted to detain Garcia. During the struggle, Garcia produced a pistol from his waistband and aimed it at the officers. In response, one of the officers deployed a Taser, prompting Garcia to discharge one round from his pistol at the officers, leading to an Officer-Involved Shooting. Fortunately, Garcia was not hit by gunfire and was successfully apprehended without further incident.
Following the incident, Garcia was transported to a local hospital by Fire Department ambulance for treatment of unrelated medical issues. He was subsequently booked and charged with Attempted Murder on a Police Officer and is currently held on $2,080,000 bail.
The firearm possessed by Garcia was identified as a Polymer pistol (Ghost Gun), which was recovered at the scene and submitted as evidence.
One officer involved in the shooting sustained an injury to his left hand during the incident. He was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and later released. It was determined that the officer's injury was likely caused by a round fired by Garcia, which struck a metal bed frame and caused fragments to impale the officer's hand.
Fortunately, no other members of the community were injured during the altercation.
The caller had a valid restraining
order against Garcia.
He was subsequently arrested and booked
for attempt murder on a peace officer.
On February 21st, 2024, the Los Angeles county district
attorney's office filed the following charges against Garcia.
One count of attempt murder on a peace officer, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, one
count of resisting an executive officer.
One count of Felon with a firearm with an
enhancement.
And one count of possession of a
firearm in violation of a restraining order.
