Officer Michael McKinney opened fire after being struck in a surprise attack that left him with a skull fracture, brain bleed and concussion in March
In a video released by the Carlsbad Police Department on Thursday, an officer is shown being struck by a skateboard in a surprise attack two months ago that prompted him to shoot at his assailant. The incident happened about 11:15 p.m. on March 29. Officer Michael McKinney was driving a patrol car on Carlsbad Village Drive, headed under Interstate 5, when a rock struck the vehicle, destroying its spotlight and damaging the windshield, police said.
Its clear in the footage that the officer thought he'd been shot. As he sought cover, the officer fired three shots at his attacker who was running across the parking lot. No one was struck. As the sergeant chased after the assailant, a large rock fell from the man's pocket, video of the incident shows. Police said the rock resembled one investigators found under the freeway where McKinney's patrol car was struck and damaged.
