Police say the 19-year-old man who fired shots from a ‘blanks’ gun as he was chased by an officer near Bakersfield College was lucky he wasn’t killed when the officer shot back. Sgt. Ryan Kroeker says Jesus Bello fired at least seven rounds Thursday night in the apartments on Bishop Drive, as the officer responded to domestic violence call. Sgt. Ryan Kroeker says Bello eventually surrendered after climbing onto a storage shed and he may have been intoxicated. Bello is facing charges of resisting arrest, using a fake gun and being in criminal gang, his bail has been set at $555-thousand.
