At around 11:15 am Sunday, the Antioch Police Department responded to a report of a shooting near Manzanita Way and Sycamore in the City of Antioch.

When officers arrived, several casings were located in the roadway, however, no one appeared injured and no injuries were reported.

Around 3:40 pm, the subject returned and left a second time, however, officers this time spotted him at Delta Fair Blvd. near Buchanan where he was placed under arrest. The suspect was combative with officers and placed in the back of the police vehicle. At that point, the suspect began hitting his head on the prisoner cage and trying to kick out the windows, officers were forced to place him in a WRAP restraint.

He was arrested on several charges which included aggravated assault with a firearm, criminal threats, discharging a firearm and violating a domestic violence protection officers. Its unclear if Antioch Officers have located the firearm used in the shooting.

Officers placed him into a WRAP restraint device to prevent him from injuring himself, any of the officers, while preventing any damage he might cause. The WRAP is a soft restraint device, which immobilizes a combative person but keeps them sitting upright to prevent any issues with positional asphyxiation.
Officers arrested the suspect on several felony charges, including aggravated assault with a firearm, criminal threats, negligent discharge of a firearm, and violating a domestic violence protection order. Police confirmed officers are still searching for the firearm used in this incident.

It’s both good and bad that the Crackers in our city are revealing themselves. Also disheartening, as it would be nice to think that we had finally evolved from that nonsense. I hope you don’t consider yourselves Christian because you sure don’t follow the teachings

So, I guess my legit question was censured, but all these other comments are welcomed. I only asked about an event that happened the other day on A st by Jack in the box. Lmao you said you wanted to steer clear of drama and bullshit, but that is all you let through on the comments. if I wrote something degrading the Black Community you would have definitely posted it. I asked why didn’t you post about the traffic stop with the bleeding black man on the ground on A st. Why did you not post that story or respond to my question? The reason is because you want ratings and the only way you can get it is through bigotry and for racist ass people to spread hate on the comments. You are a coward and a shitty journalist.

Hey black people, stop resisting arrest and you won’t get shot by cops. It’s not rocket science. Sheesh!
