[quote]The attorney for an off-duty Los Angeles police officer who fatally shot a man described by his family as having an intellectual disability and two others at a Costco store in Corona said he was defending himself and 1-year-old child.

The attorney, David Winslow, said the [b]officer was getting a food sample for his son when he was attacked and briefly knocked out.[/b]

“He was shopping with his wife and 1½-year-old at Costco. His son was was in his arms and he was feeding his son some samples when within seconds he was on the ground and woke up from being unconscious and he was fighting for his life,” Winslow said in an interview with The Times.
...
The fact that the officer’s child was in his arms at the time and that the people injured were not armed will be major factors in determining whether the level of force was justified, said Ed Obayashi, a Plumas County sheriff’s deputy and use-of-force advisor to the California Assn. of Police Training Officers.

Obayashi said the officer’s justification for the shooting might be that he could not protect his 1-year-old without using deadly force.

“This threat had to have been so immediate and so severe that the officer believed he had to use deadly force,” Obayashi said.[/quote]
