    San Francisco guard, a former cop, shot and killed protecting news crew covering a smash-and-grab
    He was shot in the abdomen during an attempted robbery of KRON-TV’s camera equipment near downtown Oakland


    A security guard has died after he was shot while he protected a San Francisco Bay Area television news crew covering a smash-and-grab theft, part of a rash of organized retail crime in the region.

    "We are devastated by the loss of security guard and our friend, Kevin Nishita. Our deepest sympathy goes to Kevin’s wife, his children, his family, and to all his friends and colleagues," KRON-TV’s vice president and general manager, Jim Rose, said in a statement issued Saturday.

    The former police officer was an armed guard for Star Protection Agency and provided security for many reporters in the region.

    He was shot in the abdomen during an attempted robbery of KRON-TV’s camera equipment near downtown Oakland on Wednesday, police said.

    The news crew was covering a recent robbery where a group of thieves broke in and stole from a clothing store.
    A reward of $32,500 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest in Nishita’s killing.

    "This senseless loss of life is due to yet another violent criminal act in the Bay Area. We hope that offering a reward will help lead to the arrest of those responsible so they can face justice for this terrible tragedy," Rose said.

    The region has been struck by organized retail thefts in which bands of thieves, some carrying crowbars and hammers, break into high-end stores and snatch merchandise.

    Similar thefts were reported in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.

    For what it's worth, I discussed this with a friend that isa 25 year Dallas area LEO . . . Tried to stay with the written narrative offered, and once done with that, posed some of the questions/issues raised here. Spexifically,he also thought that under TX Castle Doctrine, that the shoot was clean . . . .

    Specifically:

    - Under TX law, *nothing* in a custody agreement in any way alters trespass. Even if the exchange was specifically stated to be at that address, the property owner had the right to refuse any presence on the property - teal guy could stand on the curb and wait, but that was it.

    - Even if a custody exchange is refused, LE will *NOT* take any action in TX! This is purely an issue for the courts, and call your lawyer and take it to court is the only option. (Other than the kid not being there, but Mom saying she would go get him, there is no refusal here, only a delay. Junior may just be guilty of not paying attention to the clock, who knows . . .)

    - Once asked to get off the property, teal guy was committing trespass.

    - In light of the trespass and refusal to leave, the homeowner getting his gun was not inappropriate under Texas Castle Doctrine. Coulda/shoulda/woulda stayed inside is irrelevant as TX law is concerned, in that there is no "duty to retreat" nonsense in TX law. TX law does, however, allow defense of your property under Castle Doctrine.

    - The shot in the ground as a final warning to leave, he thought was OK. Teal not taking the hint was the problem

    - The illegal presence, threats recorded and assault by teal made this justified under TX Castle Doctrine.

    The rest is nice to talk about, but irrelevant to the law.

    Granted, he's not the grand jury, but in 25 years (including time on SWAT), I think he has a pretty good clue how things play out, but then again ???

    TX has no-billed some interesting things over the years. Back in 1988/89 or so, some guy had a beef with a GF, went to her workplace at the mall, and shot her dead at the entrance. Joe passerby (who had been there buying ammo enoute to the range for his, iirc, .44 Mag) saw this. The shooter got in his car to leave, and the passerby decided to not let him leave the scene of he murder, and put two rounds through the car door as the shooter was leaving, killing him. No threats, no knowledge of each other, no agressive behaviour or even proximity, but shooter was DRT. Passerby then departed the scene before LE arrived, and turned himself in a day or so later with his lawyer. Total no bill, and nothing filed for leaving either . . . .

    Another one, similar point in time. Guy comes home with his rifle in a rack in his truck, and sees burglars climbing out his homes window to a running getaway car (this is at night, iirc . . .). He's been robbed before, and has had it. Lays one out on the lawn, wounds another, and fatally wounds the getaway driver as he attempts to drive off. Again, no threats toward owner, no agressive moves by thieves, nada . . . I don't even recall the thieves being armed (not certain . . . it's been years). Again, total no bill - ruled jusified under TX law . . .

    I guess the bottom line is that unless you are familiar with TX law and culture, you will likely call it wrong . . . . Seems like our motto could have just as well been "the f**k around and find out" state!

    With 33+ years as a Texas LEO, and, of course, not a lawyer, I have no disagreement with your LEO friend.

    Of course, there may be facts not yet in evidence, that could tilt the playing field, but, indeed, it appeared that Mister Teal Shirt really needed to remove himself from the property, as soon as he was first told to do so.
    Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.

    Don’t tread on volcanos!

    Guard at Marine Corps Recruit Depot fatally shoots man with knife trying to enter base
    By Todd S. - November 27, 2021


    The San Diego Union-Tribune

    A guard shot and killed a person Friday at the U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot, according to military officials.

    The shooting took place around 11:50 a.m. at Gate 5 of the depot, located at Belleau Woods Ave. & West Washington St. The person drove up to the checkpoint and got out of the vehicle holding a knife with “hostile intent,” according to an MCRD statement. Base personnel repeatedly warned the person to stop before opening fire.

    The person died at the scene at 12:16 p.m., according to authorities. No further information was provided about the person who was shot.

    Naval Criminal Investigative Service is leading the official inquiry into the fatal incident.

    Earlier in the day, military authorities responded to a report of gunshots at an apartment complex in the Talmadge neighborhood. It was initially reported at 10:30 a.m. at the complex at 4479 Altadena Ave.

    It’s unclear if the two incidents are related. San Diego police officers were called out but turned the investigation over to MCRD officials as the complex is located on federal property, a police officer said.

    City News Service contributed to this report.

    I'm guessing he was just carrying illegally in those pre-CHL days, and that was the best post-shooting justification he could come up with as to why he had his gun on him.

    Nope - was going from home to range, unconcealed in tne car. Legal in TX at the time, prior to CHL existing. He got out of his car to fire, the fun was not on his person.

    In this case, notably, attacking an armed man while committing criminal trespass . . . (not necessarily legal, though . . .)

    But yes, the IQ displayed by both combined that day would be lucky to hit room temp . . .
