Pacoima, California — On February 16, 2024, at around 7:50 a.m., Foothill Division officers responded to a radio call of a Restraining Order Violation at a residence in the 13200 block of Paxton Street. The comments of the call indicated the Person Reporting (PR) had a restraining order against her husband, and he was at the location. Once officers arrived, they met with a witness in the front yard who directed the officers to a back house on the property.
There, officers met with the PR who confirmed the suspect, later identified as 52-year-old Pete Garcia, was inside. The officers approached the front door of the rear property and asked Garcia to step out of the location, Garcia refused. The officers verbalized with Garcia for several minutes before making entry. While the officers were attempting to detain him, a physical struggle ensued. During the struggle, Garcia produced a pistol from his front waistband area and pointed it in the officers’ direction. Simultaneously, one of the officers TASED Garcia.
Garcia then fired one round from his pistol at the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Garcia was not struck by gunfire. He was brought down to a bed, where he was taken into custody without further incident. Garcia was later transported by Fire Department ambulance to a local hospital where he was treated for unrelated medical issues. Garcia was subsequently booked and charged for 187(A)PC – Attempt Murder on a Police Officer and is being held on $2,080,000 bail. Garcia’s gun was determined to be a Polymer pistol.
It was recovered at scene and booked as evidence. The 27-year-old officer involved in the shooting was transported to a nearby hospital where was treated for an injury to his left hand that he sustained during the incident and was later released. It was later determined that the officer’s injury was likely caused by a round fired by Garcia that impacted a metal bed frame and the ricocheted fragments struck and impaled the officer’s hand. No other community members were injured as a result of this incident.

"Backup" runs when a gun is pulled, drops own gun, fires insanely close to partner, throws suspects gun, picks it up, drops radio. That guy is a liability.
And the officer dropping his gun and shooting legit at his partner thinking he part the matrix and gonna hit his shots he gonna shoot his buddy n the head
If people don’t want to go jail, then why break the law? Bad decisions.
The part that I couldn't stop laughing I know dam well that cop was shook when the kid stepped at the door lookin like a 6"2 210 pounds looking like a str8 beast of a boy and he points his finger at the kid😂
Worst partner ever. He just watched his partner go hands on and stood by. Ran away, ran back, stood by. That officer is so fucking lucky to be alive.
No, Pete, YOU f***ing set you up.
These perps get more and more stupid, imagine putting your family safety at risk because you refuse to comply to lawful orders.
"If I go and grab you-" "you're not gonna grab me dude"
"but I did have breakfast this morning"
“You’re gonna have to shoot me.â€
Gets shot.
“Why did you do this to me, I will comply.â€
I just don't get it, the cop was saying "just stand over there so I can talk to you"….. Dude you ARE talking to him, why not just tell him what you gotta tell him?
I guess if you have a taser pointed at him and you keep telling him "don't reach for it" maybe tase him or you want to wait for the gun?
Another LEO Clown Show…. Gutless coward has a failed Taser deployment…his response?… run away run away cry on the radio… wow just wow… meanwhile his partner is trying to secure the perp and Taser boy wipes his Va Jay Jay…
Rookie cops lol they talked with him like hes one of the bros 😂also what cop drops their equipment ?
If he is not under arrest then leave
Why do people assume it was the policeman’s fault, she said why do you people beat people up. Witnessing the stupidity and ignorance. Stupid hurts and sometimes gets you shot!
Police escaleted a simple and easy situation. All they had to do was let him walk out. Dont ffff call the stupid police
Common sense follow directions
This is why you never call the police unless you have to. Over policing is a real thing from simplistic dumb cops
they did an awful lot of talking about wanting to talk… sounds like they never actually wanted to talk in the first place… total setup.
all he had to do was STAND OVER THERE…. and somehow he cannot figure it out🤦
The next words from the perp…I can’t breathe
You can tell by the yard and the house this was gonna be bad
nobody talking about that cop wrestling a gun out of a suspects hands after it had gone off, that's impressive
crazy how if he just talked to them and kept a level head he would have just gotten to leave, but now he's going to be in prison until he's elderly
Cops say they wanna talk but they not talking about shit 😢
all he want is to talk what a nobhead he got himself in trouble
Why is it that whenever I see Body Cams from California (mostly LAPD) the officers always have a hand held radio? Most other places use the shoulder/chest mounted ones. Its easier and you can free your hands faster.
All you had to do was comply dude and now you turned it into a life sentence 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ glad all the officers are ok
The Officer was literally just trying to be nice to him and give him some advice so a similar situation of him violating the restraining order wouldn't happen again… Dude got ego checked because the cop told him if I wanted to grab you and take you out I could and there was nothing he could do to stop him, which was technically true because he was violating the Restraining Order.
Damn his partner didn’t do shit to help him wrestle that gun away from dude you can tell he’s a rookie he kept looking back and forth didn’t know what to do
He went from, just a word with the officers to attempted murder🤦ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸
Was this video recorded in Mexico or USA?
if you look in to the video carefully He was being tased and holding a gun with the other hand on the back while being tased will make the gun go off due to the tension of the body which can happen a lot and in his case were not to hurt the officer but can still be proven guilty due to him posses of a firearm, discharge a firearm, discharge firearm "at officer" "attempt murder on a officer" resisting, and not following order
He had no partner. Running in circles doing nothing
"I don't want no problems with you." he says as he makes problems with them.
did this all start from a custody battle for that industrial strength air conditioner unit?
ol dude thought he can persuade cops to just leave
Good. Police are government and should not be involved in domestic affairs. Anyone defending himself is innocent just like you say anyone running is guilty. Even standards.
It must be the maids day off
What a dump of a place
The backup officer was about useless. He panicked and was gonna run out and leave his partner behind then he didn't know what to do walking around in circles. These are the moments when you should realize and ask yourself should I be a cop or find another career and if you don't then the department should do it for you and at least pull you from patrol. Not being mean or judgmental but just because you want to be a cop doesn't mean you should be or have what it takes. There was also no contact between the contact officer and his backup. This ended up with a good outcome but could have easily been a whole lot worse.
"You set me up man." No, you're a very stupid individual who talked himself into getting shot, then arrested.
These cops are incompetent 😂dropping guns running away not helping his fellow officer 😂pathetic
I'd hate to have to team up with that cop. He fled, leaving his partner to struggle alone for his life. Then he almost shot him.
The trash at the side of the house is absolutely disgusting some people have no shame and think that is normal.
“You set me up dude!†Bless his heart……
This has got to be diversity hire, what a shit show.
