BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The Bakersfield Police Department has released a video community message including part of a 911 call and edited parts of the body-worn camera footage from a shooting that took place on November 10.

In the video, after officers fired shots, the suspect, Alejandro Chagoya, laid on the ground and claimed to be a minor. BPD later confirmed Chagoya was 20-year-olds and he was taken into custody. He was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the hand.
