WATCH: Father abducts teen after killing mom, but California police shoot her dead instead

‘Stop shooting her’… two California police officers kept making frantic appeals to colleagues, but bullets kept flying towards 15-year-old Savannah Graziano. The victim of a kidnapping, she was killed two years ago by the very sheriff’s deputies tasked to find her.

Now, the helicopter footage of Savannah Graziano’s last moments has come out to confirm the police shot the victim as she ran to them for help and even as they had called out to her to come to them.

As if fate had signed off on her, the teenager was abducted after her father Anthony Graziano, 45, murdered her mother, Tracy.

While MailOnline claims that one deputy could be heard in the video shouting at the others to stop shooting her, The Guardian reported there were two California police officers who realized the folly, though it was too little and quite too late.

The video footage, released Friday under the California Public Records Act, clears a lot of air for Savannah, but puts the police under a very dark cloud of obfuscation and cover-up.

The footage clearly shows that she was following the instructions of the police and was not wearing tactical gear, as had been claimed the authorities. The sheriff’s department had also, earlier, clamed that she appeared to have been shot by her father, which too turns out to be false.

On 27 September 2022, San Bernardino county sheriff’s deputies, searching for her after an AMBER alert had been raised since she had gone missing after Tracy was killed, cornered her father’s truck on a freeway, some 80 miles out of Los Angeles.

The father seems to be firing at the police, but then stops and reverses. It is then that Savannah can be seem exiting the vehicle from the passenger side, a fact that is heard as being acknowledged by the police officers on site. She can be seen following their instructions to move towards the police.

Savannah can be seen moving towards the police cars when shots start ringing out, killing her on the spot. The video shows her body blurred.
