The Orange County District Attorney's Office said Monday that La Habra police Officer Abigail Fox acted properly when she shot Matthew-Tuan Anh Tran on Aug. 6, 2021.
The shooting happened outside the La Habra Police Department headquarters after a woman pulled her car into the parking lot to report that Tran, whom she didn't know, had been tailgating her.
Tran, 22, exited his Toyota Camry and was confronted by Fox and Officer Mark Milward. When Milward asked him if he was following the woman, Tran denied it, Senior Deputy District Attorney Dan Feldman wrote in a letter to police Chief Adam Foster. When Milward turned his back to him, Tran pulled out a gun and aimed it at the officer, Feldman wrote in the letter obtained by the "One round pierced Officer Milward's bulletproof vest, striking him in the right upper chest causing him to fall to the ground. Officer Milward would recover from the gunshot," Feldman wrote."Officer Fox did not have time to de-escalate the situation or use less-lethal force because Tran was already firing at Officer Milward," Feldman wrote.
An autopsy found Tran, of Anaheim, had amphetamine, marijuana and methamphetamine in his system, the Register reported.© 2022 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.Please enter email address to continue
