The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office concluded that Campbell police sergeant Najib Magee acted lawfully when he shot and killed Miguel Gomez, who was threatening officers while trying to enter a bedroom with two small children. Gomez, under the influence of methamphetamine, fired at Officer Stevie Munoz during a struggle. The prosecutor's report praises both officers for their bravery and adherence to training, affirming that deadly force was justified given the imminent danger they and the children faced.
"The actions of Sergeant Najib Magee and Officer Stevie Munoz were both lawful and justified, demonstrating exemplary courage and training."
"Together, the two officers put themselves directly in harm's way to protect two young children and fellow officers from the threat of great bodily injury or death posed by Miguel Gomez."
