SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - Shocking video shows a man shoot at a police officer in a suburban California street after taking her gun.
A neighbor captured the footage on his phone Wednesday and posted it to Twitter (viewer discretion advised):
The San Bernardino County Sheriff says they responded to a domestic disturbance in Victorville, California around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police say 21-year-old Ari Young then attacked deputy Meagan Forsberg. Young repeatedly punched Forsberg in the head and face before taking her handgun.
The neighbor's video then shows Young fire at Forsberg with her gun when she breaks free.
More police then arrive and then shoot at Young after they say he refused commands to drop the gun.
Forsberg was not hit by any of the shots and was only injured slightly. Young is in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
