* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Wasco, California — On the morning of November 27, 2022, at approximately 1:00 a.m., deputies were on scene of a peace disturbance in the 600 block of N. Maple Street in Wasco, CA, when they heard gunshots coming from Gromer Avenue west of N. Palm Avenue. Deputies responded to that area and located four vehicles. All four vehicles immediately fled westbound on Gromer Avenue. After a short vehicle pursuit one vehicle was involved in a single vehicle collision at Magnolia Avenue and Gromer Avenue. Driver Joel Yerena complied with deputies' orders but passenger, Kevin Romero, 21, did not and started to walk away. Romero was armed with a handgun and fled on foot. It was at this time an deputy-involved shooting occurred. After the shooting, Romero pushed himself off the ground and pointed his gun at deputies where a second deputy-involved shooting happened. Romero was taken to a hospital for his injuries and eventually charged with assault with a firearm on a peace officer, firearm violations, having a controlled substance while armed with a gun and other charges. Yerena was taken into custody and charged with evading police. On January 11, 2023, the Kern County Sheriff's Office convened a Critical Incident Review Board examining the use of force in this incident. After reviewing all the facts involved in this case, the use of force in this case was determined to be within department policy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - JP Stravinski - Gerardo Flores - Richard Vannieuwenhuyse - 'Mr.StrangeTiger' - 'DaBlankOne' - Kevin Waldrep - Rose Keyes - 'Popeyez' - 'Vulture Customs' - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'Roman1983' - Kaden - Mark Demaline - Anthony Eufemio - 'musicaltune23' - 'Donkbot' - Gage Kissinger - Yejezkel Lopez - Alex F - Eian Smith - Patrick Kirby - 'HelloDarknessMyOldFriend' - 'coco Coco' - Rob Winton - 'The Chocolate Thief' - 'Jacob from Wisconi' - 'gorey hole' - Joe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Police_Activity Timestamps: 0:00 - Gunshots 0:26 - Bodycam: Deputy Michael Moreno 1:19 - Bodycam: Deputy Ryan Delahuerta
