Each of those accounts or accounts are for the two people in the vehicle that night. A 17 year old girl who was not injured and 17 year old Eric Gandu who is still in the hospital and on life support. This body cam video is what led to the firing and now rest of James Brennan. And shows the now former San Antonio police officer approved to car and opened the door without warning. The driver 17 year old Eric Gandu put it in reverse and tried to drive away. Investigators say Brennan fired 10 shots. Gandu is now in the hospital fighting for his life. George Ramos, a friend of Gandu's, recall seeing the video. It broke my heart. I thought while was at school. He has big goals in his life. He's never had bad intentions of ever doing anything. He's always had big goals. He was our comedian of the group. He still is. And we're just praying and hoping for the best. The Gandu family has put out this statement about Eric that reads in part. He is still unconscious and is on life support. We like to correct any misrepresentation that Eric is in stable condition or he is going to be fine. That is not true. Every breath is a struggle. Just a few hours after protesters gathered to call for changes against Brennan. In a tone of police chief William McManus announced the once probationary officer was in custody. This was a failure for one individual police officer. It had nothing to do with our policies. Policies did not allow that. Our training did not does not teach that. So this was a fail for one particular police officer. Chief McManus explains this is still an active and open investigation. He doesn't have a timeline on when it will wrap up. And for that reason, the case has not been turned over to the DA to turn in for to the grand jury. He adds the most important thing for him was to get Brennan off the streets that they have accomplished that at public safety headquarters. Al-Bara has case that. This was a was a failure for one individual police officer. It had nothing to do with our policies. Policies did not allow that. Our training did not does not teach that. So this was a fail for one particular police officer. And here we are as result of that fail. So this case has to go to the Bayer County District Attorney's Office. You may remember in the wake of the George Floyd uprising across the country, even here in San Antonio. The DA formed what he called a civil rights division to review officer involved shootings. That's what they call them. Police shootings and this is no different. This case will be reviewed. That division will make a recommendation to the DA. Should he decide to put it before a grand jury? And if they indict, Brennan will then go to trial. Meantime Eric Conte is in a San Antonio hospital this morning on life support. Reporting live, Marvin Hirst, Ken's 5. We want to turn now to Texas because charges against a teenager have been dropped following the release of body cam video investigation into a police shooting caught on camera. The horrific scene in San Antonio tonight. A rookie police officer has been fired after opening fire on an unarmed teenager who was eating a burger in his car at a McDonald's. He just went out to get a hamburger and now he's fighting for his life. My best friend wasn't no deadly threat yet. A hamburger, you know, he can do found with multiple gunshot wounds and then placed under arrest for evasion and aggravated assault. This morning, man was rushed to the hospital after police say they had to shoot him because he hit an officer with his car. All of this happened just before 10 30 last night near the McDonald's at Blanco and West Avenue. Well, San Antonio police officer now one administrative duty after shooting a man who hit the officer with a vehicle. Katrina Weber is near Blanco and West Avenue where it all happened and says administrative duty is the routine procedure in cases like this when officers fire their guns. The officer was answering a different call at the time when he noticed that car after 10 30 last night. McManas says he went to talk to the driver and then the driver took off hitting the officer in his leg with the car. Once he was struck, he drew his firearm at far multiple times into the car, striking the driver. That man was taken to a hospital and the last word we had, he was still in surgery. So as far as we know, he is still in the hospital. The officer who the chief says has been with the department for a little bit more than a year. Again, is on administrative duty and so the investigation is complete. Reporting from the Northside Katrina Weber case that's well news. He was still in surgery. So as far as we know, he is still in the hospital. He was still in surgery. So as far as we know, he is still in the hospital. First, at five, a late night visit to McDonald's ends in a hail of gunfire in the San Antonio Police officer who fired those rounds is now out of a job. Those shots fired toward two teams in a car hitting one of the teams 17 year old Eric Cantu. Today, our first look at the body cam footage released by San Antonio Police. But first, we want to warn you that you may find this video disturbing. Get out of the car. Our Jonathan Cotto spoke with San Antonio Police Chief who says there were two violations when it came to police policy in this case. This video showing the moment a San Antonio Police officer opened fire on two teenagers in a McDonald's parking lot on Sunday. The driver, visibly surprised, has been identified as 17 year old Eric Cantu. But he said this incident was not connected to the initial call. A teen was hit four times as passenger was not heard. A teen was hit four times as passenger was not heard. He was still in surgery. So as far as we know, he is still in the hospital. He was still in.

A teen was hit four times. A teen was hit four times. What is his Eric Cantu's family said he was shot at least twice in the head. The hospital. Now we have that fallout after the police shooting of an unarmed teenager caught on camera in Texas. The young man's family saying he is fighting for his life. As the rookie police officer who shot multiple rounds at the car has now been fired. Mola Linghi has a story for us. This morning, a visit to the fast food drive through gone horribly wrong. A San Antonio Police officer is off the force after shooting multiple times at 17 year old Eric Cantu, who was sitting in his car with a female passenger. My best friend wasn't no deadly threat. He had a hamburger. He feared for his life in the moment. Cantu, who the district attorney says was unarmed, is now on life support. His family, telling ABC News, he's still in critical condition and literally fighting for his life every minute of the day. Nothing that I can say, I can defend what he did his actions that night. A San Antonio Police Officer terminated after a shooting involving two teens Sunday night in a north side parking lot. SAPD released body cam footage of the incident that happened around 1045 Sunday night in a McDonald's parking lot off Flanko Road. We are learning tonight that officer had only been on the force for seven months and still on probation. Chief William McManus talked to Ken's fire reported Vanessa Croix defending the department's decision to fire that officer. Vanessa joins us live now from where that shooting happened. And Vanessa, I've seen that video. It is disturbing. Well, definitely that, uh, Deborah, that video definitely difficult to watch tonight. Of those moments captured on camera happened on Sunday in this McDonald's parking lot behind me. And today Chief William McManus shared his frustrations with us, saying that officer completely violated the department's tactics and policies that Chief's saying that video speaks for itself. That video speaks for itself. That video speaks for itself. Daniels, Daniels. 1361. Hey, can you start me one more? I got a vehicle to hear that uh, fled from me the other day. He's in the parking lot. Yeah, four. It's somebody else. There he goes. There he goes. There he goes. There he goes. There he goes. There we have a 11 for the 100 point over at the McDonald's. And there he was. Is it important? Nice to play. Yeah. Get out of the car. Wow. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. Get out of here. Uh, let's go to the restaurant right now. That's fire. That's fire. Yeah, the car. What? That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. Yeah, the car. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. That's fire. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Hi, Tom. How's it about you? Yeah. What do you guys mean? Yes. Can we do that? I heard him. You can't think anything, spider. I'm Mr. Fiverrier. Then I may speakар, but you saw... What was he? You didn't know, he didn't understand me very well. You can't turn D before I explained it. I learned that he didn't understand me very well. The four times at the fling vehicle. The fire! The fire! The fire! The fire! The fire! The fire! Hi, we're at one of our training facilities and recently we did a presentation on using the car as cover. And that led to quite a few questions about the bullet resistance of automotive glass, specifically wind shields. I have to point out that the side and rear windows of a car are not constructed the same as the windshield. The side and rear windows are made of safety glass that's designed so that if it's broken it'll shatter into thousands of little pieces. Now these pieces are sharp and they can cut you. However they're small enough that they're not going to make a deeper life threatening wound. And that has saved a lot of people in car accidents. It's also allowed rescue workers to break a window out and pull people out of the car when they need to. That's designed so that if it's broken it'll shatter into thousands of little pieces. Like that! That's designed so that if it's broken it'll shatter into thousands of little pieces. Like that! Now by contrast a windshield is made of two layers of glass sandwiched over polymer. If you had a windshield that was made of the same safety glass that the side windows are, then when you're driving down the highway and a rock kicks up and hits your windshield it might shatter the whole thing. The sandwich configuration makes the windshield easy enough to crack and it's hit by a big rock but very resistant to breaking. It'll shatter into thousands of little pieces. Like that! There's a chunky piece here but it does have a jagged edge so I'm just going to try that. Oh! That worked isn't it? Oh! Oh! Oh! That just makes me happy! The circle! That fierce travel! It's still so fast! Like that! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! And the officer shot several more times at the fling piece. Oh! Oh! Like that! Yeah! Oh! That's mine! That's mine! That's mine! That's mine! And the officer shot several more times at the flinging vehicle. The officer then attempted to run after the vehicle. So sorry! The driver identified as 17-year-old Eric Cantu and his passenger, a 17-year-old female, were located a block away at Parliament and Blanco Road. Both had already exited the vehicle. Cantu was charged with evading detention in a vehicle and assault on a peace officer. And he was shot at least twice in the head. He was there for a disturbance at the McDonald's. He was distracted by a vehicle that he believed he saw the previous night and tried to stop but it evaded. And then he decided to go over and approach that vehicle. As you can hear in this video, officer James Brennan believed the car was stolen and called for backup. Can you start me one more? I got a vehicle over the head that I was fed for me the other day. However, Brennan did not wait for backup. Walked up to the vehicle, opened the door and told Cantu to get out. After the car moved in reverse, Brennan opened fire. Brennan was placed on administrative duty following the shooting Tuesday. And he was shot at least twice in the head. He was shot twice in the head. He was fired for violating the department's tactics and procedures. Well, it started with the tactics he used to approach the vehicle. That was number one. Number two, it was shooting at the vehicle both at the very beginning of the video and then later the second volley. But both against policy shooting at vehicles unless it's in the ultimate defense of your life or someone else's. Brennan was a probationary officer who had just graduated the police academy and had been on the police force for seven months. Pickman says he was qualified to patrol on his own. City manager Eric Wall shanned the mayor weighing in on the incident saying it's clear that the officer's actions were in violation of the training and tactics that officers use every single day. And says he supports the chief's decision. Mayor Ronnerberg adding that officers actions ran counter to SAPD's mission and character and says he is relieved quick action was taken by the chief to terminate Brennan. We are learning the victim was taken to an area hospital where told he is expected to be okay and its charges are pending. Reporting outside of public safety headquarters to Jonathan Quato case at 12 news. Chief big man says after the homicide unit finishes its investigation they will hand everything over to the district attorney who will determine if Brennan will be facing any charges. Oh that just makes me happy the circle that fierce travel it's still so fast. You see the teen reverse and drive away as the officer shoots off more rounds and he was shot at least twice in the head and he was shot at his wife's head and runs after the car. Gantou stopped about a block away the teen was hit four times as passenger was not heard the teen was hit four times the teen was hit four times. And the officer shot several more times at the fleeing vehicle. I was one of our training facilities recently we did a presentation on using a car as cover and that led to quite a few questions about the bullet resistance of automotive glass specifically wind shields. I have to point out that the side and rear windows of a car are not constructed the same as the windshield is. The side and rear windows are made of safety glass that's designed so that if it's broken it'll shatter into thousands of little pieces.

There's a chunky piece here but it does have a jagged edge so I'm just going to try that. Oh that makes me happy. The circle. That fierce travel. So it's still so fast. Like that. . . . . . . . . That video speaks for itself. That video speaks for itself. Yeah, the car. He does have a breathing tube, things like that. But we hope he could fully recover from this situation and this incident that happened. You know, it's, it's very hard to think about. Very hard. And he was shot at least twice in the head and he was shot at least twice in the head. But we hope he could fully recover from this situation and this incident that happened. You know, it's, it's very hard to think about. Very hard. His friends and family are praying. He's inspired me so much to be a better person. He's also positive and motivated and ambitious and happy for him to see him laying there helpless. It's just so much emotions and I'm just trying to be as strong as I possibly can. Gunthus family says he is on life support with more surgery scheduled. As for the officer, police are finished with their investigation, the case will be handed over to the DA Civil Rights Division and that a grand jury will decide if charges will be filed. Get out. Get out. Get out.
