According to body-camera footage following the incident, Sanchez told Corona police that he thought French had a gun and had shot him — so he shot French. He later described to investigators the gun he said French was holding as a “small black compact firearm,” KNBC reported. But an LAPD investigation concluded that no witnesses saw a gun in French’s hand and no firearm was recovered at the scene, the news station reported.
