Police officer fatally shoots handcuffed prisoner who had been tasered five times in one day
Daniel Saenz was fatally wounded after an officer pulled his gun during a struggle in the Downtown Jail in El Paso. ● Graphic video footage has emerged of the moment a policeman shot and fatally wounded a handcuffed prisoner being restrained on the floor outside of an El Paso jail. After shooting Daniel Saenz, 37, in his shoulder, police officer Jose Flores can be seen climbing on top of him and apparently pulling out his taser as another unidentified transport officer continues to restrain him. Saenz can be seen bleeding and kicking his legs for a few seconds, before lying still on the floor. The video has been released on instruction of the Texas Attorney General's Office following a request by The El Paso Times in February. The newspaper requested the video after a grand jury declined to indict Mr Flores over the shooting.
