Anaheim police officers fired 76 shots at a suspect during a high-speed pursuit that the Orange County district attorney's office called 'alarming and irresponsible.'

The “conclusion that all of the available evidence is insufficient to warrant the filing of criminal charges against the two officers should not in any way diminish the fact that [this office] is alarmed by this conduct,” Deputy Dist. Atty. Scott Woolridge wrote. About 15 minutes later, Staymates and Pedersen responded to the home in a residential area and attempted to block Nava’s truck. But Nava saw them and drove toward the officers’ car, ending up alongside them, prosecutors said. When the officers got out of their car with guns drawn and ordered Nava out of the truck, he ignored them and sped away, according to the report.
“Suspect is hit. We know he’s bleeding,” one of the officers can be heard saying in the video. “I think I hit his head,” Staymates said, according to the report, as the truck stopped.
