Bakersfield, California — The Kern County Sheriff’s Office released footage of a deputy fatally shooting a suspect after he threatened to kill an elderly man. On February 9th, deputies were called to the area of Pierce and State roads in Oildale on a report of a man “breaking car windows and committing assault with a deadly weapon.” That weapon turned out to be a hunting knife. The suspect was later identified as 25-year-old Deven Karl Moore. Around 1:21 p.m. deputies located Moore walking northbound on Pierce Road telling him to “stop and drop the knife and drop the fire extinguisher”, but he did not obey commands from the deputies. Moore fled to a nearby guard shack at a business in the area and took a man hostage at knifepoint. It was at that point that Deputy Austin Burgess fired twice into the shack, killing Moore who was pronounced dead at the scene.

  1. That officer shot the perp in the head, saved the hostage, helped him out of the room and stayed with him to make sure he was okay.
    Hats off. That's beautiful and brings tears to my eyes.

  2. That Sikh guy(the hostage) did a great job. He never let that lunatic put the knife to his throat, which made it much easier for the cops to take the shot.

  3. That second shot went right into his left eye popping it. You can see the eye goo spraying out of his head in the lower right of the screen. Sick.

  4. If this was CS:GO, it would read: "Deven Karl Moore brought a knife to a gun fight." Deputy has skills! Two head shots without flinching!

  5. 2nd Officer is hilarious.
    Shoves the other officer shortly after his second shot
    Trips, falls, and nearly impaled himself.
    Appears to either be in shock and hot mic-ing or not in shock and intentionally covering his "badge" camera.

  6. I will admit, Rocket Man going on in the background when he discharges the extinguisher was a nice touch. He was sure destined to go out in a cinematic way. Alec you taking notes?

  7. Poor old fella, was happily sitting there still working in his old age one minute, then suddenly was threatened with a knife and had the guy shot through the head right above his ear the next.

  8. I feel sad for the elderly man being held at knifepoint but thankfully the officer had an angle and was able to make two shots to end the hostage situation quickly. Criminals rarely get to dictate terms to police and this was NOT one of those times! Great job LEO's.
