Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse in Police State America, comes this truly horrifying story curtesy of the Eureka CA police, who shot and killed 22 yr old Tommy McClain while holding a cell phone with his hands raised in the air in his own front yard (according to eyewitnesses) at around 12:30 am Wed Sep 20. The Official police story so far is that Tommy had a gun in his hand, and the officers feared for there life, so they had no choice but to shoot Mr. McClain multiple times resulting in his death. However, eyewitnesses to the shooting are singing a different tune than the police. Eyewitness Nichole Mottern had this to say about the shooting: “The cops were out there screaming, ‘Put your hands up! Put your hands up.’ I put my hands up,” she said.
McClain, she explained, was on the lawn area near the home. “Tommy was already out there,” she said. “He sits out there and smokes cigarettes. He came out from beside the porch… . He started to put his hands up. He walked out into the grass… . [The officers] were telling him to come.”
Another eyewitness to the shooting named Corinna ward, who is Mrs. Mottern’s mom gives more detail to what happened that horrible morning: Corinna Ward, Mottern’s mother, said she was on the porch by the front door. She described law enforcement as being “in a semi-circle, at least five or maybe six [officers].” “They were telling him to get down,” Ward said, “I don’t think he understood… . I don’t know.” “I didn’t see anything,” she said. “His hands were near so you could see. He had them raised. He stepped forward. I didn’t see anything in them.”
Mottern described what she believes happened next: “A cop yelled, ‘He’s got a gun.’ They all fired. I saw him getting shot from all different angles. First shot fired and then they all fired. It wasn’t one cop. It was them all. There were a lot of cops… . He crumpled down into the ground.” [According to scanner tape, this occurred about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. According to Mottern, McClain didn’t have a gun. “There was nothing in his hand,” she said.
Eureka Police Chief Andrew Mills said there were four officers at the scene.
Thomas McClain died after being shot by Eureka Police Department officers in his front yard. Did he have a gun? Was the shooting justified? Family says no. Law enforcement and one neighbor say otherwise.
Nichole Mottern still can’t bring herself to believe that Thomas McClain, her husband’s cousin, was fatally shot by Eureka Police Department officers early Wednesday, September 17. She speaks of McClain in the present tense.
“Tommy lives with me and Josh and my kids,” she explained. “He came up here to get away from the Fresno lifestyle. He became our family.”
On Tuesday, she had taken the two men out for her husband’s birthday. She explained during an interview Thursday that Josh Mottern, her husband and McClain’s cousin, was inebriated so he went upstairs to bed in their two-story townhouse. Her mother, who had been babysitting, was on the living room couch.
Mottern said she and McClain were outside chatting in the front of the house after midnight (Tuesday night/Wednesday morning) when she ran upstairs to check on her husband. From there she looked out the window and noticed a police officer behind her home “looking around.”
“All of a sudden he took off towards the front of the house,” Mottern explained. She ran downstairs and outside to see what was going on. (She believes she was in the house a very short time, about two minutes.) When she got onto the front porch, bright lights were shining in her eyes.
