New details are finally emerging regarding the deadly Costco shooting in Corona, California.

It’s been five days since the controversial shooting inside a Costco left a mentally ill man dead and his parents in critical condition.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore has released the identity of the off-duty policeman who fatally shot a man and wounded his parents. The name of the officer is Salvador Sanchez, a patrolman in the Southwest Division. Many people in the community believe that the officer is getting special treatment. The lead agency investigating the triple shooting is not coming from the Corona Police Department, but from the LAPD Chief Michel Moore.

Sanchez has worked for the LAPD Southwest Division for seven years, and his attorney says he has since been placed on home duty.

Dale Galipo, a prominent civil rights attorney representing the French family, says, “This officer is not detained, he’s not arrested.”

He says the alleged push by Kenneth French that knocked Officer Sanchez to the ground was not life-threatening. He says the shooting was unjustified and that if the community is expected to have faith in the criminal justice system, the same rules should apply to everyone.

“If anyone else was in Costco and had some type of a push, took out a gun, killed the person, and then shot his parents to boot – they would’ve been arrested, in jail on murder charges with either no bail or $3-$5 million in bail looking at life in prison,” said Galipo.

In response to Chief Moore confirming that Sanchez was the shooter, Sanchez’s attorney said, “It would have been nice if he would have shown some concern about the officer’s wellbeing and his one-year-old son after they were attacked and knocked to the concrete.”

The Corona Police Department says they are well aware of the criticism from the public, but they do say that they’re taking so much time on this investigation because they’re going over every piece of video and speaking to every witness they can because they want to get to the bottom of the truth of what happened. Ultimately, they say they’re asking community members for patience.
