The cousin of a man shot and killed by an off-duty police officer in a California Costco says his relative was nonverbal and couldn't have started the argument that allegedly led to the shooting, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.
Police said the victim, identified by the Corona Police Department as 32-year-old Kenneth French of Riverside, assaulted an off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer in an unprovoked attack before the shooting.
The officer, who was reportedly holding a young child while shopping with his family when French allegedly attacked him, shot and killed French and also shot two members of French's family, police said.
Corona police Lt. Jeff Edwards told reporters just after the incident that police believe the shooting resulted from an argument.
"From my understanding, from some people we talked to, there was apparently an argument inside," Edwards said. "Some type of argument and ensued into a gun shot."

Shureih also told the newspaper that the family members who were shot were the victim's parents,

Inside a Costco should be relatively straightforward. There would presumably be security footage.

And three dozen witnesses who blocked the aisle with their carts.

Were the parents non-verbal as well? Because they were shot also.
Seems maybe the parents could have gotten involved and the nonverbal son was just part of the fight?

They’re not black so I won’t have to worry about the interstate getting shut down by protesters

Need a better perspective, but that guy looks pretty big.

Of course there is, but the media needs a story so they'll leave out all the pertinent information they can.

Seems maybe the cop shouldn't have shot the guy, idk.

If they tell you more of the story, it would frick up their false narrative. Cops are bad, ok? They shoot retarded people in Costco. That's all you need to know.

That intellectually challenged kid ate all the sausage samples. It was either wait 20 minutes for fresh samples or shoot the kid.

How come everybody gets mad at cops now. We should be thanking them for shooting people

maybe?
I don't know what happened, do you?
if the cop's story is true, I don't have an issue with the cop protecting himself and child.

Not saying the cop was right or wrong, if you’ve never been around mentally disabled people ( whatever the name for it now is) things you’d do to normal folks don’t work. Talking, explaining, most don’t comprehend. Sad but when the footage is released then I’ll form a opinion.

Outside of the man having a weapon, there are ZERO scenarios where shooting someone in a freaking Costco is okay.
