Multiple deputies arrived at a residence on Campanile Street around 8:15 a.m., according to the sheriff’s office. The video shows them spending the majority of their time strategizing how to enter the home safely because they did not know exactly where he was and were told he was armed with a knife. At the same time, the deputies were also talking with family members of Gilmore who had evacuated the home. They asked the family about his mental state and whether he had talked about wanting to die that day. After nearly twenty minutes passed, the garage door opened unexpectedly and Gilmore was inside. In the video, the deputies can be heard commenting on Gimore’s loss of blood and appearing to be incoherent. Gilmore eventually began walking down the driveway with an object still in his hand as deputies tried to communicate with him. He mostly ignored them. His family was also trying to speak to him. Deputies fired six non-lethal rounds at Gilmore and three rounds from a handgun. According to the sheriff’s office, the knife Gilmore was holding was six inches long with a three-and-a-half-inch blade. Gilmore died at the scene, the sheriff’s office said. The deputy that shot him with lethal rounds has been with the sheriff’s office since 2019, the sheriff’s office said. He was put on administrative leave pending the investigation, in accordance with procedures. The sheriff’s office is still investigating the shooting but the family of Gimore has also launched their own investigation. “He died right in front of me,” Bobbie Gilmore, Chris’ sister told KCRA 3 in March. “They could have hit him with a Taser gun.” The family released home surveillance video footage in April. They claimed then that Gilmore was holding a small disposable razor and not a knife. Gilmore’s family also argued that he was not approaching deputies.

This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for KCRA Sacramento uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
