** He survived. LAPD still tried to charge the man with assault with a deadly weapon although he had none. **


In the video from Barrera's shooting that the department posted to YouTube on Thursday, a 911 caller tells a dispatcher in Spanish that a man with a gun is pointing it at people along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

The dispatcher asks the man if it is a small gun, and he then says he doesn't know exactly what the man is holding. The call went out over the police radio as a man pointing an "unknown type handgun at passersby."

Later, as responding officers Tatiana Bohorquez and Manuel Rios are driving toward the scene, another officer can be heard on the radio stating, "He does have a handgun, and he's firing at a house right now."

"Oh, s—," Bohorquez, who is driving, can be heard saying.

Rios, in the passenger seat, then opens the passenger side door of the patrol vehicle as it is still moving and holds his handgun at the ready in his right hand.

"You might have to shoot. You might have to shoot," Bohorquez says as they pull up near Barrera.

Rios then immediately opens fire, seeming to fire four rounds down the street at Barrera.
