A Tucson veteran was shot and killed by a SWAT team, and there are a lot of questions. Three weeks have passed and details are emerging about the case of Gervina, a Tucson veteran who was shot and killed by a SWAT team in his home. On the morning of May 5, during the police's anti-drug operation in four districts of Tucson, SWAT officers kicked in the door of Jose Gervina's home. The latter fought with a Rifle semi-automatic gun. His wife also called 911 for help. Minutes later, Gervina was shot and killed by SWAT officers 22 times, which has now triggered public outrage. The focus of the public debate is whether Gervina understood that the police were not invading their home, and whether the deadly force initiated by the SWAT officers was justified. During those critical minutes, the SWAT team identified themselves, according to video released by the Pima Sheriff's Office. Mike, the general counsel of the Police Association, relayed the description of the SWAT team members. Gervina could tell with his eyes that they were police officers. Their shields, helmets, and uniforms all showed that they were law enforcement forces. The deceased communicated with them with his eyes, and then raised his weapon and aimed at these police officers. Investigation documents show that there were armor and a large number of weapons in the deceased's home, but there were not a large amount of medicines and huge savings. Gervina, who served in the Iraq war and has worked for a mining company since retiring from the Marines five years ago, is a father of two. Gervina's wife said her husband was not involved in the drug trade. The Pima County Sheriff's Office promises to continue investigating this incident and must provide the public with an answer.
