The article details a police shooting incident in Berkeley where an officer critically injured an armed man, Ricardo Ruiz. The police body cameras failed to record the actual shooting because one had been unintentionally deactivated. Despite releasing video footage from other responding officers, the essential moments were not captured. The incident was prompted by a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance, during which Ruiz threatened officers with a shotgun, claiming he was a victim of a false emergency call designed to provoke police action.
Police stated the body camera had been inadvertently deactivated earlier in the critical incident, and recovery attempts of the footage were unsuccessful.
The male inside, later identified as 33-year-old Ricardo Ruiz, threatened to shoot officers and indicated he could see them via exterior security cameras.
