Philip McMahon, 27, was injured in a shooting in Mira Mesa.

When McMahon broke a window by banging on the glass, the homeowner inside called for police.

She told police that McMahon was naked and appeared to be “frozen, like a robot, not following commands.

McMahon was unarmed at the time of the shooting. However, the DA’s Office investigation found McMahon charged at responding San Diego Police Officer Christopher Gripp and attempted to take his weapon several times.

He tested positive for marijuana use, according to the DA.
McMahon’s parents told NBC 7 their son suffers from mental illness.

McMahon pleaded guilty to resisting arrest by force and vandalism, according to the DA’s report.

The investigation found Officer Gripp attempted to use control holds and a Taser before opting for deadly force in his confrontation with McMahon. His actions were deemed justified. #Copwatch #SanDiego #FilmThePolice
