[0:10] Good evening

[0:14] I'm Sergeant Rashad Hollis, the Vallejo Police Department's Public Information

[0:18] Officer and Community Engagement Sergeant.

[0:21] Thank you all for attending tonight's town hall meeting.

[0:26] Tonight's meeting is to discuss the officer-involved shooting that occurred on

[0:31] Monday, July 20th, 2026 at approximately 1:15 PM on Mahogany Drive here in Vallejo.

[0:42] The purpose of this meeting is to share the available facts regarding

[0:45] the incident and provide our community with an opportunity to share their

[0:50] thoughts, questions, and concerns.

[0:54] I want to acknowledge the following leaders in attendance today.

[0:57] Thank you for being here, Assistant City Manager Nalungo, the Chief's

[1:02] Advisory Board, and Chaplain Mike Brown

[1:09] The Vallejo Police Department would like to express its gratitude to the

[1:13] Griffin Academy Middle & High School for generously allowing us to use their

[1:17] facility for this town hall meeting.

[1:21] This partnership allows us to hold the meeting near the location of the

[1:25] incident, making it more accessible to the community members and businesses

[1:30] that may have been affected.

[1:33] Finally, I would like to thank everyone, including our community, stakeholders,

[1:37] and the media for joining us today.

[1:41] Before we continue, everyone should know that this meeting is being

[1:44] translated into American Sign Language.

[1:47] A recording will be posted tomorrow on the City of Vallejo's official website

[1:53] with closed captions available in multiple languages, including Spanish and Tagalog.

[1:59] We will listen to the comments and take questions from the

[2:02] community after our presentation.

[2:05] Please keep in mind that this incident remains an active

[2:09] and ongoing investigation.

[2:12] Tonight's meeting will conclude at 8:00 PM or after the final question

[2:17] or comment, whichever comes first.

[2:20] Thank you for participating in this town hall meeting.

[2:23] I will now turn the meeting over to Chief of Police, Jason Ta.

[2:35] Thank you, Sergeant Hollis.

[2:37] I just wanna start, uh, by thanking everyone here tonight, our community

[2:43] members, families, members of the media, for taking the time to attend this

[2:48] town hall meeting and for joining us in this critical conversation regarding

[2:54] the recent officer-involved shooting.

[2:57] Our commitment this evening, as always, is to continue earning your trust through

[3:03] absolute openness and transparency.

[3:07] This is why we're here tonight.

[3:09] We wanna share what we know at this point in time

[3:16] While strictly respecting the integrity, as Sergeant Hollis mentioned, of

[3:19] the ongoing independent criminal investigation being conducted by the

[3:24] Solano County Task Force, our goal is to pre-present this information to

[3:29] you in a manner that is fair, that's respectful, and completely clear.

[3:35] When our officers interact with members of the public, the use of any type

[3:39] of force must always be reasonable, measured, and legally justifiable.

[3:45] We understand that officers frequently face difficult,

[3:48] rapidly evolving situations.

[3:51] However, their decisions must remain lawful and consistent

[3:56] with our departmental policies.

[3:59] We also deeply recognize that any use of force, especially deadly

[4:03] force, is profoundly traumatic for every involved families, community

[4:09] members, and officers alike

[4:14] That is why we treat these events with the utmost seriousness.

[4:17] Every use of force undergoes multiple layers of review from field supervisors,

[4:24] command staff, and to our professional standards division If an internal

[4:29] review indicates a need for change, whether through training, disciplinary

[4:35] action, or updates to our policies, those steps are decisively taken.

[4:41] Furthermore, a comprehensive report of these incidents is compiled monthly and

[4:46] delivered to me as the Chief of Police.

[4:51] When this specific incident occurred, our department mobilized immediately.

[4:57] I personally responded along with both deputy chiefs, both captains,

[5:02] our public information officer, the internal affairs commander, our entire

[5:07] detective division, our department chaplains, and our professional staff.

[5:12] Part of my core responsibility in these critical moments is to ensure

[5:17] that accurate information is quickly shared responsibly with city leadership,

[5:23] with our regional partners, and most importantly, with you, our community.

[5:27] To that end, the department issued an initial media release on the

[5:31] night of the incident detailing the basic facts, the sequence of events

[5:38] and the status of those injured and the type of weapon we recovered,

[5:41] which was an assault rifle.

[5:43] A subsequent update was issued shortly thereafter to provide additional

[5:47] transparent context, including the names, experience levels, and current division

[5:53] assignments of the involved officers.

[5:57] Just as importantly, we made it an immediate priority to establish

[6:01] a supportive connection with the family of the individual involved.

[6:06] Chaplain Brown and Chaplain Pace stepped forward to serve as our dedicated

[6:11] family liaisons, offering immediate support services and ensuring the family

[6:20] Was offered ex-extended personal in-- I'm sorry.

[6:23] Was offered immediate support resources and ensuring the family was extended

[6:29] a personal invitation to meet directly with me within seventy-two hours.

[6:35] Several days later, I had the opportunity to meet with the

[6:38] immediate family, and I met with them once more prior to this event.

[6:44] It's very warm in here.

[6:45] Excuse me.

[6:49] When I met with them individually, we previewed the exact same video footage

[6:54] we're gonna be seeing here tonight.

[6:56] Tonight, we continue our promise of transparency.

[6:59] We will first hear the initial 911 audio dispatch from the

[7:04] armed robbery and carjacking.

[7:06] You will see relevant video footage captured both from the body-worn camera

[7:11] and the car camera, and then we will look at specific still frames from

[7:15] those videos alongside photographic evidence taken from the scene.

[7:21] I'll now turn it over to Administrative Bureau Captain Jeremy Huff.

[7:38] Good evening.

[7:39] I'm Captain Jeremy Huff, and I oversee the Vallejo Police

[7:42] Department's Administrative Bureau.

[7:44] I wanna provide some background on tonight's meeting and the context of

[7:48] our current position as a department.

[7:51] This is the first fatal officer-involved shooting that our department

[7:54] has experienced in six years.

[7:57] Over the last six years, the Vallejo Police Department has undergone

[8:00] significant changes and improvements in our training, policies, community

[8:05] engagement, and operational and administrative review systems.

[8:10] We have prioritized premier training in areas such as crisis intervention

[8:16] methods; implicit bias, principled policing, cultural diversity, and

[8:21] procedural justice; use of force, including less lethal options, arrest

[8:27] and control techniques, firearms, and our state-of-the-art virtual

[8:31] force simulator; de-escalation tactics, and scenario-based training.

[8:38] The officers involved in this incident have received the training

[8:41] that I just described to you.

[8:43] Beyond training, we've enhanced our practices around accountability,

[8:47] transparency, and internal reviews.

[8:50] One important change is our renewed commitment to the community

[8:54] communication and outreach following officer-involved critical incidents.

[9:00] To foster trust and build partnerships, we hold town hall meetings like

[9:05] this one soon after an incident at a facility near the scene.

[9:10] Tonight, our intent is to provide the highest level of transparency

[9:14] possible while remaining mindful of the ongoing criminal investigation.

[9:19] We will be sharing relevant video evidence and factual information available

[9:24] at this stage of the investigation.

[9:27] We've also strengthened our family support services practices as a Vallejo Police

[9:33] Department chaplain now serves as the family liaison, facilitating communication

[9:39] between the chief of police and the involved family soon after the incident.

[9:43] That process has been followed in this case, and we have been in contact with the

[9:47] family members affected by this incident.

[9:51] Two important processes have also been put into place due

[9:54] to our police reform efforts.

[9:57] We have a revised county protocol.

[10:00] The Solano County officer-involved fatal incident protocol now assigns

[10:04] the criminal investigation to the Solano County Major Crimes Task Force.

[10:10] Under this protocol, the district attorney is tasked with conducting an

[10:15] objective and independent investigation.

[10:18] The Vallejo Police Department investigators are not involved

[10:21] in the criminal investigation

[10:25] The Critical Incident Review Board, or CIRB we have overhauled our

[10:31] internal review system, and the CIRB now evaluates each critical incident

[10:36] with the goal of agency improvement, reviewing, planning, and decision-making,

[10:42] supervision, de-escalation and tactics, training and equipment,

[10:47] policy issues, and post-event response.

[10:52] When an officer-involved shooting incident occurs, several parallel investigations

[10:56] are initiated, which include the Solano County Major Crimes Task Force , who

[11:03] is currently conducting the criminal investigation under the supervision

[11:07] of the district attorney's office.

[11:10] The administrative or internal affairs investigation determines if policies

[11:15] and procedures were adhered to.

[11:17] The City of Vallejo has retained an independent investigator from the

[11:21] Renee Public Law Group to conduct an internal, uh, independent review.

[11:28] Vallejo Police Department internal affairs investigators are not involved

[11:32] with the administrative investigation.

[11:35] The Critical Incident Review Board was convened with a diverse membership,

[11:40] including department leadership, training staff, professional standards

[11:44] supervisors, community representation, and subject matter experts.

[11:49] Phase one of the initial CIRB has already occurred.

[11:54] As the Vallejo Police Department's policies and procedures continue to

[11:57] evolve, I want to emphasize our commitment to partnership with the community.

[12:02] We cannot do our jobs effectively without your confidence and support.

[12:07] At this time, I will turn the presentation over to Deputy Chief Knight, who will

[12:10] provide a summary of the incident

[12:32] Good evening.

[12:34] My name is Bob Knight, and I am the Deputy Chief of Police.

[12:38] I will be providing a general overview and timeline of events

[12:42] as we know them at this time.

[12:45] This case is still in its early stages and is being conducted by another criminal

[12:49] investigative agency, as just mentioned.

[12:53] Therefore, we are only able to share details that are confirmed and

[12:57] suitable for release at this time.

[13:00] However, this town hall represents our department's commitment to maximum

[13:05] transparency surrounding critical events such as an officer-involved shooting.

[13:10] Our department's role during the initial response was to conduct a

[13:14] preliminary investigation, secure the scene, identify witnesses, and preserve

[13:21] immediate evidence to establish a found-foundation for the extensive and

[13:26] thorough investigation now being led by the Solano County District Attorney's

[13:30] Major Crime Task Force investigators.

[13:34] While the video footage we are sharing tonight is a critical component

[13:38] of this review, it's important to recognize that body-worn and in-car

[13:43] cameras do not always offer a complete depiction of a critical incident.

[13:48] The district attorney investigators will utilize officer statements, civilian

[13:52] witness testimonies, alternative video angles, if available, and forensic

[13:57] analysis to reconstruct a comprehensive understanding of the events leading

[14:02] up to and during this encounter.

[14:05] To ensure absolute objectivity, all involved officer statements

[14:09] were conduct- were conducted by the district attorney's Major Crimes

[14:13] Task Force, not our department.

[14:17] The event des- the events described here tonight represent the facts

[14:20] as we currently know them based on the in-information available to us.

[14:26] A final and comprehensive report and formal legal determination

[14:29] regarding the just-justification of lethal, lethal force will be assessed

[14:34] and rendered independently by the district attorney at a future date

[14:39] once their investigation and official documentations are fully finalized

[14:47] First, I will identify the officers who discharged their

[14:50] firearms during this incident.

[14:52] The involved officers were Officer Himanshu Saini, badge five six zero,

[14:59] who is a four-year member of the department, and Sergeant Matthew

[15:03] Komoda, badge six six five, who is a twelve-year member of the department.

[15:09] On Monday, May twentieth, twenty twenty-six, at approximately twelve

[15:13] nineteen PM, the Vallejo Police Department responded to the four hundred

[15:17] block of Ryder Street for an armed carjacking that had just occurred.

[15:22] The victim reported being robbed of personal belongings and his vehicle by

[15:27] a suspect armed with an assault rifle.

[15:30] The victim's vehicle was a twenty eleven Honda Accord, and the suspect fled the

[15:35] scene in the vehicle and was last seen traveling northbound on Sonoma Boulevard.

[15:41] The victim's vehicle was entered into the stolen vehicle system, and

[15:44] the vehicle information was placed into Vallejo PD's Flock automated

[15:49] license plate reader software.

[15:52] Approximately fifty-six minutes later, officers were alerted by the Flock

[15:56] Automated License Plate Reader System that the victim's carjacked vehicle

[16:00] was traveling in North Vallejo.

[16:03] At approximately one:fifteen PM, Officer Sani was traveling on Broadway Street

[16:08] near Mahogany Drive when he observed the vehicle traveling on Broadway

[16:12] Street with two occupants inside.

[16:16] Officer Sani radioed for backup and followed the Honda as it

[16:19] turned onto Mahogany Drive, which is a dead-end street.

[16:24] The driver of the vehicle stopped in the roadway as he neared the dead end.

[16:29] Officer Sanny activated his overhead emergency lights and

[16:33] began to exit his patrol car.

[16:36] The video will show a bystander was standing…

[16:39] Excuse me.

[16:40] The video will show a bystander was walking towards the Honda, looked inside,

[16:45] and immediately started to run away.

[16:48] Officer Sanny started to give verbal commands to the vehicle's occupants,

[16:52] at which time the driver produced a high-powered rifle from the vehicle.

[16:57] Officer Sanny dove into his patrol vehicle, and an

[17:00] officer-involved shooting occurred.

[17:04] Sergeant Kamoda arrived on scene as a backup officer while

[17:07] shots were actively being fired.

[17:10] Sergeant Kamoda exited his police vehicle and positioned himself on the passenger

[17:15] side of Officer Sanny's vehicle while the driver was shooting his rifle at

[17:20] Officer Sanny and his patrol vehicle.

[17:23] Sergeant Kamoda discharged his firearm at the driver and requested emergency

[17:27] assistance on the police radio.

[17:30] After a brief pause in gunfire, the vehicle abruptly drove forward,

[17:35] colliding with an unoccupied vehicle and a fence, and came to rest.

[17:40] At this time, Officer Sanny exited his police vehicle and

[17:44] sought cover behind a nearby car.

[17:48] After the suspect vehicle came to rest, both Officer Sanny and Sergeant

[17:52] Komoda again engaged with the armed suspect and discharged their

[17:55] firearms, firearms at the driver multiple times, fatally wounding him.

[18:02] Multiple officers arrived on scene, and the passenger of the

[18:05] vehicle surrendered to officers and was safely taken into custody.

[18:10] The passenger of the vehicle is… His identity is not being,

[18:14] uh, disclosed at this time.

[18:17] Officers were not able to immediately render aid to the driver as the scene

[18:21] was unsecured and the Honda was wedged between an unoccupied car and a fence,

[18:27] significantly limiting access to him.

[18:30] After several minutes, the suspect was removed from the vehicle and officers

[18:34] began first aid until EMS arrived.

[18:38] However, paramedics pronounced him deceased at the scene.

[18:44] The driver is identified as forty-four-year-old Vallejo

[18:48] resident Romel Corral.

[18:52] The firearm used by Corral was a two-two-three caliber AR fifteen-style

[18:57] rifle with a high capacity magazine.

[19:01] It was located at the scene and booked into evidence.

[19:05] Romel Corral has an extensive criminal history with prior prison

[19:09] time and was currently on CDCR parole at the time of this incident.

[19:15] He's been convicted of the following crimes: two separate felony convictions

[19:20] for burglary, two separate felony convictions for possession of a controlled

[19:25] substance, one felony conviction for vandalism, one misdemeanor conviction

[19:31] for illegal possession of a firearm, three felony convictions for felon

[19:37] in possession of a firearm, most recently a case being in May of twenty

[19:41] twenty-six this year, uh, by Vallejo PD.

[19:46] In twenty eleven, Corral was arrested and charged with murder for a case

[19:50] that occurred in the city of Vallejo.

[19:52] He was later convicted of voluntary manslaughter with the use of a

[19:54] firearm and sentenced to prison

[19:58] This incident demonstrates the rapidly evolving nature of police encounters.

[20:03] Officers are often asked to make split-second decisions while performing

[20:07] multiple tasks and potentially responding to an immediate threat

[20:11] to protect themselves and the public

[20:16] Before we play the footage of this incident, we want to

[20:19] provide a content warning.

[20:22] The videos you are about to see contain graphic and violent images,

[20:26] including gunfire and scenes that may be distur-disturbing for some viewers.

[20:32] We recognize that everyone processes traumatic events differently.

[20:36] If you would prefer not to view this segment of the presentation, we will pause

[20:41] briefly to allow you to exit the room.

[20:44] After the videos have concluded, we will provide time for those who

[20:48] may have stepped out to return to their seats before we continue with

[20:51] the remainder of the presentation

[20:56] We appreciate your understanding and respect everyone's personal decision

[21:00] regarding whether to view the footage

[21:05] So this will be your time if you'd like to step out and don't wanna view the footage,

[21:08] um, now would be the time to do so

[21:37] Okay, veldig godt You're about to watch and listen to a series of

[21:43] audio and video files depicting the events that I just described.

[21:47] These include a 911 call, as well as videos from police car cameras

[21:52] and officer body-worn cameras.

[21:54] The sharing of this information is not intended to provide any

[21:57] evidence that a conclusion has been reached in this investigation.

[22:01] Please note, body-worn camera and in-car cameras are generally affixed in a

[22:06] direction that captures the camera's line of sight, but not at an angle

[22:11] or view that depicts what an officer actually observed or experienced.

[22:17] Vallejo Police Department Axon cameras are all equipped with a buffer

[22:20] feature that shows video footage up to thirty seconds before the

[22:25] camera is activated, with no audio.

[22:29] Action-- Axon dash cameras are automatically activated when the police

[22:33] car's emergency lights are activated.

[22:36] The body-worn camera can be activated manually by depressing the button on the

[22:40] camera or automatically when the police vehicle's dash camera is activated.

[22:46] All audio and video files have been redacted pursuant to Penal Code

[22:50] eight thirty-two point seven B six.

[22:54] Also, pursuant to California Assembly Bill seven forty-eight, the raw videos

[22:58] depicting this shooting will be released on our website tomorrow, along with a

[23:02] recording of this town hall meeting.

[23:06] You may notice brief periods of silence throughout the video.

[23:10] Portions of the audio have been redacted in accordance with the

[23:12] applicable l-legal and privacy requirements that I just described.

[23:17] These redactions do not affect the continuity or sequence of events depicted.

[23:22] We will now begin the video presentation

[23:53] 911, what's the outer city emergency?

[23:57] Okay, how can I help you?

[23:58] I just got robbed in the park.

[24:01] Okay, what exactly happened?

[24:02] Uh, this guy just came and he pulled an assault rifle on me,

[24:05] and he said, "Empty out everything in your pocket," and… Okay.

[24:08] What's the company name?

[24:11] And was he Black, white, Hispanic, or Asian?

[24:13] Uh, he looked like Black, but kind of mixed.

[24:15] He was a shorter dude.

[24:17] Like light-skinned Black male?

[24:18] Yeah.

[24:19] Okay.

[24:19] W- About how old did he look?

[24:22] Probably late 30s.

[24:25] Okay.

[24:26] Do you remember what he was wearing?

[24:27] What, what color shirt, what color pants?

[24:28] Uh, he had like some blue shorts I think.

[24:30] I don't really remember the shirt, man.

[24:31] He had like a blue bag with him.

[24:33] He just sped off with my car, my wallet, everything.

[24:40] Oh, okay.

[24:41] How long ago was this?

[24:42] Literally 30 seconds.

[24:44] Oh, okay.

[24:44] Do you know which way he drove off?

[24:46] Uh, he went left down Sonoma going towards, like, the animal shelter.

[24:51] Okay.

[24:53] What kind of vehicle?

[24:54] It was a gray Honda Accord, 2011, kind of beat up

[25:03] Does it have body damage or just older?

[25:05] It does have body damage.

[25:06] Okay.

[25:06] On the right side, it's kinda warped.

[25:09] Do you know your plate number?

[25:10] Um, I think

[25:17] Okay.

[25:17] And are you injured at all?

[25:20] No.

[25:20] All right.

[25:21] Let me get him stranded to you, okay?

[25:22] Okay.

[25:23] Hold on.

[25:42] Yeah, he asked me for a lighter at first.

[25:43] I said, "I don't got it," and then he just kept walking.

[25:45] Then all of a sudden he came back, tapped on the glass, and he pulled out a huge

[25:47] gun out of his bag, like an assault rifle, and he's like, "Get the fuck out of the

[25:52] car right now. Leave everything in your car, everything out of your pocket."

[25:55] And I was just like, I just fucking, I took, threw all the shit and left.

[26:00] Okay.

[26:00] So I've got everybody on the way there right now.

[26:02] Is there anything else about him you can remember?

[26:05] I'm sorry, what'd you say?

[26:06] Uh, they're all driving to you right now, and they're, some of them are

[26:09] gonna go search the area for your car.

[26:11] Is there anything else about him you remember?

[26:13] Um, do you guys have, like, the camera footage of him walking

[26:16] by, or… I think he had, like- Okay … almost braided hair kind of.

[26:20] But- Maybe like, like- He had a, he had a little bag … dreads

[26:22] or just the little knots on top?

[26:25] Was it, like, dreads or the, like, little knots on top?

[26:27] They were, like, two kinda big dreads on the back of his head, I

[26:30] think, or… Honestly, I ba- I, I barely even really looked at him.

[26:33] Okay.

[26:33] I just think he was a shorter dude.

[26:34] We got him on camera.

[26:36] Okay.

[26:36] And where are you at?

[26:38] Oh, I'm inside the office right now.

[34:25] Keep doing route.

[34:33] Talk to my boat too.

[34:34] I haven't lit it up, but for a couple of stops, and we'll take it to H Bay.

[34:38] So we are currently hawking other vehicles

[35:58] I copy shots fired.

[35:59] We're staging medical

[36:33] My car.

[36:34] I need an next unit at Grab n Shield Next unit, Grab n Shield for Sam Key's car

[37:44] Leave the lights off?

[37:45] Leave them on?

[37:47] Can you guys see these photographs okay, or should we turn the lights back off?

[37:51] Just leave them off for now.

[37:54] The video showed how the incident unfolded in real time.

[37:57] We will now review several photographs taken during and after the incident to

[38:02] highlight important details and provide additional context that may not have

[38:07] been readily visible during the videos.

[38:11] This is an aerial image of the scene.

[38:14] Although it was not taken during the incident, it provides an

[38:17] overview of the location and helps illustrate where the events occurred

[38:23] This is, uh, depicting Officer Sanni's vehicle, Sergeant Comoda's vehicle, the

[38:28] carjacked Honda Accord, and these yellow, um, arrows are photographs of vehicles

[38:35] that you will see with, um, bullet hole damage in the-- in some future photographs

[38:43] This is a close-up photograph of the firearm Rommel Carol

[38:47] used during the shooting.

[38:49] The firearm is considered a ghost gun under California law because it

[38:53] does not bear a valid serial number, making it more difficult to trace.

[38:58] Carol's rifle was equipped with a high capacity magazine that still

[39:01] contained twenty-one live rounds

[39:12] In this slide, if you look at the above the driver's side front door,

[39:17] you can see a bright flash of light.

[39:20] This is known as a muzzle flash, which is the visible flash sometimes

[39:24] produced when a firearm is discharged.

[39:27] This image captured one of the moments Carol fired his

[39:30] rifle towards Officer Sanni

[39:36] This is a magnified still image showing Correll fire the

[39:40] rifle towards Officer Sanny.

[39:42] It is just a magnified photo of the, the previous slide

[39:57] This photograph was taken several hours after the shooting

[40:00] during hours of darkness.

[40:02] It shows the final rest-resting position of the stolen Honda

[40:05] Accord after it collided with a fence and an unoccupied SUV

[40:15] Here's the unoccupied vehicle, here's the fence

[40:24] This photograph shows bullet strikes to the driver's… Oh, sorry.

[40:30] Go back.

[40:30] This is, uh, the next slide here.

[40:32] This photograph shows Officer Sandy's patrol vehicle with its emergency lights

[40:36] still activated following the shooting.

[40:39] You, you can also see the green evidence placards which identify the location of

[40:43] Officer Sandy's spent cartridge casings

[40:59] This photograph shows a bullet strike to the driver's side window

[41:03] of Officer Sanni's patrol vehicle

[41:15] This is a close-up image of that same bullet strike to the driver's side window

[41:26] This is another view of the front of Officer Sandy's patrol vehicle with

[41:30] the emergency lights still activated.

[41:39] This close-up photograph shows both outbound and inbound

[41:45] Bullet strikes to Officer Sanny's patrol vehicle.

[41:49] This picture shows damage caused by rounds fired by Officer Sanny

[41:54] as well as rounds fired by Carroll

[42:00] Back one here

[42:06] There's a bullet strike here that may not be harder to see and bullet strike here

[42:23] This photograph shows a bullet strike to the roof of Officer Sanny's patrol vehicle

[42:29] The impact is visible on the driver's side beneath the white paint of the roof

[42:40] This image shows the locations of recovered cartridge casings.

[42:44] The green evidence placards identify Officer Sanny's spent casings,

[42:48] while the yellow evidence placards identify Corroll's spent casings

[42:59] This image shows a zoomed-in photograph of the placard, the placards

[43:03] identifying Carroll's spent casings

[43:12] This slide shows multiple civilian vehicles that were struck by rounds

[43:16] fired by Carol during the shooting

[43:20] And then there'll be a series of photographs here in a moment that

[43:22] will show those in more detail.

[43:25] This is a close-up photograph of a Lexus that was parked behind

[43:28] Officer Sanny during the incident.

[43:30] A round fired by Carol struck the vehicle's windshield

[43:40] This is a close-up of a Ford pickup truck that was also parked behind Officer Sanny.

[43:45] The windshield was struck by a round fired by Carroll

[43:55] This is a close-up photograph of a Nissan parked adjacent to

[43:59] Officer Sanni's patrol vehicle.

[44:01] Multiple rounds fired by Corroll struck the rear of the vehicle

[44:10] I will now turn the presentation back over to Sergeant Hollis for the community

[44:13] engagement portion and closing remarks

[44:31] We will now transition to the community engagement portion of this town hall.
