Police in Nassau County say Kiber Calderon was the person seen on video waving a gun at passing traffic before being hit by an officer's SUV.
FOX 5 NY's Jodi Goldberg spoke to the driver who recorded the whole thing."It was definitely shocking, you know," Amir said. "You don’t see that in this neighborhood." fired a shot into the air before walking into the busy intersection"She was pointing the gun at the cops and at one point she put it to her head," Amir said.
Officials say an officer in a squad car likely saved lives by sideswiping Calderon, who ultimately fell to the ground and dropped the gun before being arrested. "You have a subject that was pointing a gun at the public, discharged a firearm on a public street, pointing the firearm at police officers, and then pointed the firearm at his head, which meant he might’ve committed suicide had the police officer not have taken swift and effective action," said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
Calderon was arrested twice in June for burglary and trespassing, according to police, and will now face charges including menacing, reckless endangerment and possession of a weapon and controlled substance. "So the law is written that deadly physical force used against you or another you can equal that force with deadly physical force," said police commissioner Patrick Ryder. Calderon will be arraigned when medically fit.that I have read and agree
