DA CLEARS BPD OFFICER FOR SHOOTING SUSPECT

The District Attorney has cleared a Bakersfield Police officer who shot a suspect on Oswell Street. The DA says Christian Hernandez was within the law when he wounded 29-year-old Jose Vaca in 2016 as Vaca got out of a car holding a rifle and pointed it at another officer. Vaca was sentenced to a decade in prison for the incident.
