At Rest

Deadly force
John Carlos Natera-Perez was allegedly angry that his ex-girlfriend had a new boyfriend and forced the couple to leave their house, taking the 3-year-old son he shared with his ex-girlfriend hostage as he barricaded inside the home. When police encountered Natera-Perez he was armed with a knife and bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. During the standoff, Natera-Perez lit small fires in the home. Fearing for the child's life, an officer shot Natera-Perez through a window. The 3-year-old was unharmed.
