Officer Brett Jackson testified that he got clearance to fire after Frank Correa had already fired at police several times.
MARTINEZ — An Oakley police officer took the stand Friday and recounted the last few moments before he fired an AR-15 at an armed domestic violence suspect who’d already shot “three or four volleys” at police.
Officer Brett Jackson shot and killed 58-year-old Frank Correa, of Oakley, hours into an armed standoff 1800 block of Teresa Lane, which started when a woman reported Correa was driving her around town and refusing to let her leave. After arriving at the Teresa Lane home at around 10 p.m. on Aug. 24, the woman escaped while Correa locked himself inside and refused to leave and be arrested, police testified.
When Jackson saw him making another trip to the front door, he asked Sgt. Jeffrey Solomon for permission to shoot. Jackson fired twice, striking Correa in the chest. He staggered back to his bedroom but police spent the next 20 minutes attempting to break through a door and clear the area with a drone before rendering medical aid. Jackson was pronounced dead from his injuries later that day.r, Oakley police Chief Paul Beard said that an officer was injured by flying metal after a bullet fired by Correa struck a vehicle.
