Body camera and CCTV surveillance camera video clips of the fatal officer involved shooting of Katherine Ann Brazeau. (Ms. Panda's Den did not edit out any part of the video. The video is as whole as when it was released.) (A link to the complete OCDA Report can be found below.) Location: Fullerton, Orange County, California, United States Date: May 31, 2018 (Thursday) Orange County District Attorney: ... Therapist Jane Doe (Therapist Doe) is a licensed mental health therapist in the City of Fullerton. From 2015-2018, Therapist Doe had been treating Brazeau for various illnesses including traumatic brain injury, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. However, in February 2018, Therapist Doe determined she could no longer provide treatment to Brazeau citing “self-destructive decisions” that Brazeau engaged in and Brazeau not utilizing the tools Therapist Doe was providing her. Therapist Doe provided Brazeau with a 30-day notice which informed Brazeau that Therapist Doe would no longer provide treatment to Brazeau. Brazeau did not take the notice well. Brazeau made comments about knowing where Therapist Doe lived and threatened to harm herself if Therapist Doe discontinued treating her. On March 27, 2018, Therapist Doe sought and obtained a temporary restraining order against Brazeau. The order prohibited Brazeau from having any contact with Therapist Doe. Brazeau was served with a copy of the restraining order by Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) Civil Division personnel on March 28, 2018. Over the next few weeks, Brazeau repeatedly violated the restraining order by sending Therapist Doe emails and text messages. Brazeau also filed a fabricated claim with the California state licensing board that alleged that Therapist Doe had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with Brazeau. On April 13, 2018, Therapist Doe was granted a permanent restraining order against Brazeau by the Orange County Superior Court. When Therapist Doe entered the courthouse that day, Brazeau walked past her and threatened to cause Therapist Doe to lose her license. Therapist Doe was afraid and immediately left the courthouse and reported the violation of the restraining order to the FPD. FPD Detective Virginia Johnson was assigned this case. On May 30, 2018, Detective Johnson contacted Therapist Doe who provided Detective Johnson with the aforementioned facts. After obtaining Therapist Doe’s statement, Detective Johnson contacted Brazeau over the phone. Brazeau stated that she was probably extremely intoxicated and violated the protective order. Brazeau admitted that she went to Therapist Doe’s office without an appointment, interrupted a private session Therapist Doe had with another patient, and yelled profanities at Therapist Doe. Detective Johnson explained the terms of the protective order and Brazeau’s prohibitions regarding contacting Therapist Doe, Brazeau became upset and hung up on Detective Johnson. The following morning, at approximately 7:30 a.m., Therapist Doe arrived at her office to prepare for a meeting with a patient. Brazeau arrived at Therapist Doe’s office building a few minutes later. Brazeau walked into the office building, past the reception area of the office, and into Therapist Doe’s office doorway carrying a large knife in her right hand. Therapist Doe looked up and saw Brazeau standing in the doorway of her office holding the knife. Therapist Doe then grabbed her cell phone and told Brazeau to leave the premises. Therapist Doe told Brazeau that Brazeau violated the restraining order by walking into the office, and again, told her to leave. Brazeau stepped inside Therapist Doe’s office, and proceeded to close and lock the door behind her. Brazeau yelled at Therapist Doe. Brazeau lunged at Therapist Doe with the knife and attempted to knock Therapist Doe’s phone from her hand. Brazeau attacked Therapist Doe with the knife, stabbing her in the back, near her spine. During the attack, the patient (Jane Doe 1) that Therapist Doe was expecting had arrived and entered the reception area of the office. Doe 1 heard yelling from behind Therapist Doe’s closed office door. Doe 1 heard Brazeau yelling at Therapist Doe and Therapist Doe yelling that she had been stabbed. Brazeau opened Therapist Doe’s office door, lunged at Doe 1 with the knife, and told her to leave. Doe 1 ran out of the building, called 911, and reported that Brazeau had stabbed Therapist Doe. Meanwhile, Brazeau began destroying Therapist Doe’s office. She moved furniture in front of the office door, barricading Therapist Doe inside. Therapist Doe called 911 and dispatchers heard Therapist Doe yell her address, informed them that she had been stabbed, and that the office door had been barricaded. 911 dispatchers overheard Therapist Doe repeatedly plead with Brazeau to put the knife down. ...
