New video released on December 20, 2022 shows the moments a cop was shot in the chest by Matthew-Tuan Anh Tran, 22, in La Habra, California.
The shooting is from August 6, 2021. At 7 p.m. a woman called 911 concerned about a man that was following and tailgating her on the 5 Freeway as she drove home from work.
The woman pulled in front of the La Habra police station. The suspect identified as Matthew parked behind her at the police station, then got out of his car and started trying to enter the front lobby of the police station.
The lobby was closed but soon two officers arrived and started to talk to Matthew. As one officer took a few steps back, the video shows Matthew pull a Glock 9mm semi-automatic and shoot the cop in the chest.
A second female officer on scene quickly returned fire, shooting Matthew in the head. The suspect fell to the ground.
Paramedics arrived a short time later and attempted to provide medical assistance but Matthew died on scene. The shot cop survived and is recovering.
The Glock that Matthew possessed had no serial number and was a “ghost gun.” An autopsy showed Matthew had methamphetamine in his blood.
