Stockton PD Opened Fire On Parolee After He Killed An Officer & Strangled A Kid - Was This Murder?

I know everyone will say this guy needed to die, but I think the cop EXECUTED THIS GUY after he refused to engage UNTIL A PESKY CITIZEN JUMPED IN TO HELP.

The Stockton Police Department released body camera, 911 calls, picture and details of an Officer-Involved-Shooting Mai 11-202.
At 9:45 a.m., the Stockton Police Telecommunications Center received a call of a disturbance in the 4400 block of La Cresta Way. The caller reported hearing screaming, saw a woman with a ripped shirt who was bleeding, and appeared to have been assaulted.
Stockton Police Officer Jimmy Inn was dispatched to the call and arrived on scene at 10:07 a.m. Shortly after arriving on scene, Officer Inn knocked on the security door and stood off to the side. A voice from inside the residence said, “Hey Police” and a man later identified has suspect Lance Lowe, 30 immediately opened the door shooting Officer Inn multiple times.

As Stockton Police Officer Pancho Freer arrived on scene he heard gunshots and saw the man standing over Officer Inn holding a gun. Lance Lowe then shot at Officer Freer striking his patrol car. Officer Freer returned fire from inside his patrol car. Lance Lowe briefly entered his home and returned moments later holding his eight-year-old son in the front yard of the residence. Lance Lowe began to strangle his son and refused to comply with Officer Freer’s commands. As Officer Freer approached on foot, a community member tackled Lance Lowe, and as the child was freed, Officer Freer fired his duty weapon multiple times striking the man.
Officers began live-saving measures on both Officer Inn and Lance Lowen.
Medics arrived and transported Officer Inn and the man to an area hospital where both died from their injuries.
The eight-year-old boy was medically cleared and released to his mother.
Witnesses said the female victim walked away from the scene prior to police arrival and investigators are currently trying to contact her for a statement.
During a search of the residence, Officers located a firearm inside.
Due to this being an officer-involved-shooting, we initiated a multi-agency critical incident investigation with the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation, California’s Department of Justice, and San Joaquin County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Weapon Recovered: Glock Handgun.
Decedent: Lance Lowe, 30, lived at the residence.
Involved Officer: Officer Pancho Freer, hired in April 2012, assigned to the Field Operations Division. The involved officer will be placed on three day paid administrative leave.
Deceased Officer: Officer Jimmy Inn, hired in December 2015, assigned to the Field.

The Los Angeles report that the suspect Lance Lowe, 30 had previously been arrested in Los Angeles on firearms charges and was on parole for the armed theft of a car, court records show.
Lance Lowe, 30, was arrested Feb. 5, 2017, on Olympic Boulevard near Francisco Street in downtown Los Angeles on weapons charges. He listed himself as an Oakland resident at the time. The L.A. County district attorney charged Lowe with grand theft auto with a firearm, conspiring to commit a crime, child endangerment, possession of an assault weapon and carrying a loaded firearm in a car or public place. All but the grand theft charge was ultimately dismissed.

Although Lowe was sentenced in 2018 to five years in prison, he was released in April 2020 on supervised parole, according to Dana Simas, a spokeswoman with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

According to corrections officials, Lowe received credit for more than a year he had already served in jail before his 2018 sentencing. Inmates usually receive one day of credit for each day they serve in county jail.
