Summary

Shooting Salem Alabama in Salem, Alabama: On June 11, Salem police Sgt. Jason Donner shot and injured Jose L. Anguiano, 35, while responding to a reported hostage situation at a homeless camp near 3371 Portland Rd. N.E. in Salem. Officers had responded to a 911 hangup call and a second report of a woman being held hostage at gunpoint in a tent near the railroad tracks. When Anguiano emerged from behind a bush holding what appeared to be a handgun, Donner used deadly force. A Marion County grand jury on June 18 unanimously found Donner's use of force justified, and separately indicted Anguiano on coercion, two counts of fourth-degree assault, and four counts of menacing, with the coercion and assault charges constituting domestic violence.
