Two years after SDPD shot a mentally ill woman inside her apartment, we’re seeing footage of how it unfolded. Family members question why mental health professionals weren't there to try and de-escalate the situation before police went into her home.
“There is people under the window and she’s throwing it haphazardly,” an unidentified caller said to 911 dispatch.When police arrived and entered Calva’s apartment, they said she was barricaded inside the bathroom with a knife.
Garcia told NBC 7 that she understands her daughter had a knife but wants to know why mental health professionals weren’t called to deescalate the situation first. Garcia said Calva was released in November on mental health diversion. The District Attorney’s Office would not comment on the case, but said after three years of probation Calva can apply to have her record cleared.“The San Diego Police Department holds its members to the highest professional standards. We hear the community’s concerns about this incident.
The Shooting Review Board evaluates the tactics used by the officers and what could or should have been done differently.
