His police vehicle had also been shot by three bullets. The Los Angeles Times reports that Gill told authorities at the time that he had fired back at the car as it sped away. He was on a routine patrol along a rural mountain road in the foothills of unincorporated Morgan Hill, California, at the time. Gill was placed on leave following the incident. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen did not specify what parts of Gill’s story were fake but said ballistics and other evidence revealed inconsistencies. Gill was not wounded in the shooting while the single bullet pierced his body camera.
