Rosa Calva lawyer says she was in the throes of a mental health crisis during the May 2020 incident
A mentally ill woman who was shot several times during a brief standoff with San Diego police is suing the department, alleging excessive force and civil rights violations.
Within 20 minutes of reaching her apartment, officers forced their way inside the 5-foot by 5-foot bathroom where Calva was armed with a steak knife. She was shot during the struggle, then the police dog clamped down on her arm for a full minute, her attorney said. The encounter was caught on cameras worn by officers at the scene. But it took San Diego police two years to release the footage despite state law mandating most such videos be released within 45 days.
The incident started shortly before 10 p.m. May 23, 2020, when Calva broke a window and began hurling items out of it. One 911 caller said Calva threw “furniture, glass, a mop, everything,” and some items landed at a trolley stop at Park and Market.
