The footage includes video from a snipers’ nest, 55-year-old Guadalupe Zavala firing at a police drone, and officers killing Zavala while his home burns.
ANTIOCH — Police here have released footage showing a 55-year-old resident firing at a police drone, a snipers’ nest where officers shot his gun, and the conclusion of the hours-longs standoff where police shot him 19 times, killing him.
Including the two snipers, four officers fired their duty weapons during the day, but two — including Eric Rombough — reportedly fired all but one of the shots that struck Zavala. Rombough is one of eight Antioch officers who have been placed on leave while the FBI and Contra Costa District Attorney investigate them for suspected crimes of moral turpitude, multiple law enforcement sources have told this news organization.
Dozens of officers arrived from Antioch and Pittsburg police departments, including two SWAT teams and a crisis negotiation team. They confirmed with family that Zavala was an Army National Guardsman who’d gone AWOL and was in possession of at least two firearms, an AR-15 rifle and a Glock pistol.
