Officer Shoots Man During Welfare Check, Body Cam Footage Released

Santa Rosa police just dropped body camera footage from a quick but intense shooting on March 12th.

Officer Taylor McDonough fired two rounds at Eric Keith Brown after he got confrontational during a welfare check.

The whole thing lasted under three minutes, starting from a 9-1-1 call about a guy in a sleeping bag near a church.

Brown survived serious injuries and ended up in the hospital.

The video pulls from the officer's body cam, dash cam, and another cops footage released on April 26.

McDonough arrived around 11.16 a.m. with a ride along journalist.

Brown first ignored her questions, walked off, but turned back aggressively when she asked about probation or parole.

Her taser didn't stop him, so she pulled her gun as he kept coming.

Folks on scene reacted fast, and off-duty nurse pulled over to help right after the shots.

McDonough called for backup and medical aid while keeping Brown on the ground.

No charges filed against them yet, per-core records, and his condition stays private now.

McDonough is on paid leave as standard procedure.

She joined the force last May with over six years experience total.

Sonoma County Sheriff's Office is investigating with Santa Rosa police doing their own review, too.

This comes right after the district attorney cleared another officer in a fatal shooting from last August,

showing how these cases play out under.

Screwed any, stay tuned as more details emerge.
