A police officer in Pasadena, California, was shot during an incident of ‘unsafe and out-of-policy horseplay’, according to Police Chief Gene Harris. The incident occurred on September 7, 2025, when two uniformed officers were standing near a police SUV in a department parking garage. One of the officers drew his handgun and pointed it at a police cruiser before putting it away and smiling with his fellow officer. In response, the driver of the cruiser drew his own weapon, which discharged and hit the first officer in the shoulder.
Investigation and Aftermath
The officer who was shot has since recovered from his injuries, and the officer who discharged his weapon is no longer with the department. The incident sparked an internal investigation, and the video of the incident was released after new evidence came to light that led to additional officers being put on leave. Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo stated that ‘this type of unprofessional behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated’ and that he supports the police chief’s decisions.
