Police in Southern California released harrowing video of deputies shooting an unarmed teenage kidnapping victim as she exited a car and followed a deputy’s command to walk toward him.

The incident began two days before the shooting on Sept. 26, 2022, when 45-year-old Anthony Graziano allegedly killed his estranged wife and kidnapped their 15-year-old daughter Savannah Graziano from a home in city of Fontana in San Bernardino County. Cops issued an Amber Alert the following day, sending out pictures of Savannah, her father and his pickup truck. On Sept. 28, 2022, a tipster called cops to say he spotted Savannah.

Police intercepted the pickup truck, driven by Graziano with Savannah in the passenger seat, which turned into a pursuit lasting several miles down Interstate 15 and into the desert city of Hesperia. Graziano allegedly fired several shots along the way, hitting patrol cars and injuring a deputy struck by shrapnel. San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said in a statement the day after the shooting that Savannah was a “participant” in shooting at deputies. On Monday, the Press-Enterprise newspaper reported a witness told dispatchers that shots were coming from the passenger side of the truck, but that statement is still under investigation.
