A man in San Francisco, Dmitri Hochstatter, was injured by a gunshot during an encounter with police, though his attorney asserts he did not fire his weapon. Initial police claims stated he shot at officers and a drone, which he denies. Hochstatter has been charged with multiple felonies related to firearm use. His defense argues there is evidence suggesting he was shot by police, not his own gun, and his mental health issues during the incident were also raised, impacting his awareness of the situation.
According to Hochstatter's wife, he was in the midst of a mental health crisis, and was not aware that police officers were watching him via drone.
Hochstatter's defense attorney Neil Hallinan tells Mission Local that 'there is substantial evidence' now to suggest that Hochstatter was shot by police bullet.
