Raynham Police release body cam footage of shooting of man who pulled gun on officers
By: The Raynham Police Department released body cam footage Wednesday of a man who was shot and killed by police after he pointed a gun at a group of officers.
35-year-old Stephen MacLean was shot by two police officers after he pulled out a gun when police knocked on his door.
The department said that police administered first aid to Maclean before he was taken to Morton Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The department also released a statement that included the names of two of the officers involved in the shooting:
“The Raynham Police Department is releasing the names of two officers involved in yesterday’s officer-involved shooting.
Sgt. Frank Pacheco and Officer Jennifer Lang, both 12-year veterans of the Raynham Police Department, were placed on administrative leave Tuesday per the department’s policies and procedures. They will remain on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
The investigation remains ongoing by State Police detectives assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, and any further inquiries into this matter should be referred to their office.”
The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said MacLean had been arrested Monday for allegedly intimidating a witness in Taunton District Court.
Probation officials requested he be detained as he was on probation at the time of the arrest, but a district court judge released him on personal recognizance.
Officials said they were told MacLean was fired from his job Tuesday morning after showing up to work intoxicated and had been acting aggressive prior to officers’ arrival at his apartment.
