When pressed for more detail about who he’d aimed at, Sanchez told Slane he didn’t want to answer more questions. “Those people, probably like, got in the way, I don’t know,” Sanchez said, referring to French’s parents, who were each struck with one of Sanchez’s bullets and survived. “I believe he was still armed, so I shot,” Sanchez continued. “When I dropped my son, and the guy like, hunkers down,” Sanchez continues, and holds his hands together as if to show a person was holding a handgun. “I see a blast and I feel my head get knocked out, and I fall to the ground-I dropped my son,” Sanchez said in an initial interaction with Corona officer Slane.
