Two officers with the San Jose Police Department lawfully shot and killed a man who killed two people and kidnapped his children and grandmother in a rampage last year, according to prosecutors.
, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said the officers will not face charges in connection with the death of Raymond Calderon on June 21, 2022.
Prosecutors said he then took his captives to the home of ex-girlfriend Michelle Gonzalez in Modesto. There, Calderon forced his captives to watch him shoot and kill Gonzalez. After the crash, Calderon fled on foot and shot at officers. He barricaded himself in a nearby shed, in a standoff that lasted for several hours.
"Facing an armed suspect who had just killed two people and was brandishing a firearm, Lieutenant Lang and Officer Carboni had no other choice but to shoot Calderon when he raised his gun," Baker said
