On Tuesday afternoon, Fairfield Police provided an update on an officer involved shooting that involved James Jarrard, a suspect involved in the shooting of an 8-year-old boy in Concord.<\/p>\n
Day’s earlier, Concord Police announced him as a suspect and was wanted.<\/p>\n
Here is what Fairfield Police released on the March 28 shooting and the series of events that led to it:<\/p>\n
Detectives from the Fairfield Police Department\u2019s Major Crimes Unit and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, in partnership with the Solano County District Attorney\u2019s Office, worked late into the night conducting interviews and processing evidence in this case.\u00a0 As a result of that investigation, we have been able to establish the following series of events in this case.<\/p>\n
The caller recognized Jarrard from various media reports on the shooting in Concord, Ca.\u00a0 The witness spotted Jarrard near a business in the 3300 block of North Texas Street and provided the vehicle description and license plate to police dispatch.\u00a0 The witness followed from a safe distance as the vehicle pulled into a parking lot in the 3400 block of North Texas St.\u00a0 A check through DMV showed the vehicle had been reported stolen from Walnut Creek.\u00a0 Officers were advised of the stolen vehicle, and that Jarrard had an outstanding arrest warrant for Attempted Murder and was considered Armed and Dangerous.<\/p>\n
As officers arrived on scene, they encountered Jarrard standing outside the vehicle in the north end of the parking lot.\u00a0 As they approached, Jarrard ran east through the parking lot, then south behind the business ignoring the officer\u2019s orders to stop. This area is a service alley bordered by a large retaining wall to the east, and the business to the west.\u00a0 One officer pursued Jarrard behind the business, as another officer and sergeant drove to the south end of the business and entered the service alley from the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
Jarrard ran between a Conex box and the building near the rear service entrance to the store.\u00a0 As Jarrard rounded the Conex box, he saw the police vehicles on the south end of the service alley.\u00a0 Jarrard turned and ran back north toward the pursuing officer and sergeant.\u00a0 Jarrard began reaching and grabbing at his waist band area as he ran directly toward the officers.<\/p>\n
