south of the Canadian border, 22 00:01:05,586 --> 00:01:07,655 is the coastal city of Moses Lake. 23 00:01:11,793 --> 00:01:13,206 Detective Curt Ledeboer 24 00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:15,482 has been with the Moses Lake Police Department 25 00:01:15,482 --> 00:01:16,758 for more than 10 years. 26 00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,137 [Ledeboer] Being a police officer in my home community, 27 00:01:20,137 --> 00:01:22,448 I feel is very gratifying. 28 00:01:22,448 --> 00:01:24,689 We've come across people who are in trouble, 29 00:01:24,689 --> 00:01:25,862 for whatever reason, 30 00:01:25,862 --> 00:01:27,551 and they see somebody that they're familiar with, 31 00:01:27,551 --> 00:01:28,689 I think it helps. 32 00:01:33,586 --> 00:01:36,172 I was with my family at a school event. 33 00:01:36,172 --> 00:01:37,655 We were out there, just having a good time. 34 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:40,000 While we were there, 35 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,689 I observed a person walk 36 00:01:41,689 --> 00:01:44,241 into the barbecue area who I was familiar with. 37 00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:46,827 His full name is Salvador Harguindeguy. 38 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,068 I knew he had been causing a problem 39 00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:52,793 for our patrol officers for the last couple of months. 40 00:01:53,517 --> 00:01:55,137 So I contacted Sergeant Jones, 41 00:01:55,137 --> 00:01:57,655 who was working on as supervisor that day, 42 00:01:57,655 --> 00:01:59,344 to check to make sure Mr. Harguindeguy 43 00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:01,103 in fact had outstanding warrants, 44 00:02:01,103 --> 00:02:03,655 or probable cause for his arrest. 45 00:02:03,655 --> 00:02:06,413 [Jones] I received a phone call from Detective Ledeboer, 46 00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:10,000 and he said, "Hey, I'm looking at Sal right now." 47 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,758 [narrator] Detective Ledeboer has reason to be cautious. 48 00:02:13,827 --> 00:02:15,482 [Ledeboer] Sal's criminal background involves 49 00:02:15,482 --> 00:02:17,758 drug sales, firearms trafficking, 50 00:02:17,758 --> 00:02:20,448 and association with violent criminals. 51 00:02:22,862 --> 00:02:24,000 [police radio

55 00:02:41,827 --> 00:02:45,000 where he was involved and a shot was fired. 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,620 The vehicle was impounded. 57 00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:48,482 The firearm was located. 58 00:02:48,482 --> 00:02:51,827 Another circumstance, I came in contact with him myself. 59 00:02:53,379 --> 00:02:56,068 In 2021, we had a call for service. 60 00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:57,241 Two guys fighting, 61 00:02:57,241 --> 00:03:00,724 one person was supposed to be armed with a firearm. 62 00:03:00,724 --> 00:03:03,551 Myself and one of my team members arrived on the scene. 63 00:03:04,551 --> 00:03:07,310 [officer speaking] 64 00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:08,896 - [suspect speaking] - [officer speaking] 65 00:03:10,103 --> 00:03:11,620 [suspect speaking] 66 00:03:13,034 --> 00:03:14,896

underneath the seat. 73 00:03:33,137 --> 00:03:34,172 [clears throat] 74 00:03:34,793 --> 00:03:36,517 [officer speaking] 75 00:03:36,517 --> 00:03:37,965 [Sal speaking] 76 00:03:37,965 -->

00:03:59,413 [Jones] We took him into custody at that time, 85 00:03:59,413 --> 00:04:01,965 knowing that he was a convicted felon, 86 00:04:01,965 --> 00:04:05,068 and couldn't be in possession of a firearm. 87 00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:09,482 [narrator] Salvador Harguindeguy was arrested again in April, 2021, 88 00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:12,275 when an officer caught him driving without a license. 89 00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:24,310 And again, Harguindeguy had a gun. 90 00:04:27,344 --> 00:04:28,482 [officer speaking] 91 00:04:28,482 --> 00:04:30,172 [Sal speaking] 92 00:04:30,172 --> 00:04:31,068

officers. 100 00:04:47,172 --> 00:04:50,275 [Ledeboer] Salvador Harguindeguy is a savvy criminal, 101 00:04:50,275 --> 00:04:53,965 that knows to constantly be on the move. 102 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,482 He knows that if he says certain things 103 00:04:56,482 --> 00:04:58,620 that he might have the potential 104 00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,586 of being released or not going to jail. 105 00:05:02,034 --> 00:05:03,896 [Sal speaking] 106 00:05:07,068 --> 00:05:08,862 [officer speaking] 107 00:05:08,862 --> 00:05:11,689 [Sal speaking] 108 00:05:15,724 --> 00:05:16,931 [officer] Okay. 109 00:05:16,931 --> 00:05:19,241 [Jones] He has brought up that he has some type 110 00:05:19,241 --> 00:05:21,344 of pre-existing coronary problem. 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,896 That is of great concern 112 00:05:24,896 --> 00:05:26,758 to any type of correctional facility, 113 00:05:26,758 --> 00:05:29,965 because once they have custody of that individual, 114 00:05:29,965 --> 00:05:32,551 if something does happen to them medically, 115 00:05:32,551 --> 00:05:34,517 then they're going to be responsible 116 00:05:34,517 --> 00:05:36,413 to make sure that that's addressed, 117 00:05:36,413 --> 00:05:38,931 and that can be a very expensive process. 118 00:05:38,931 --> 00:05:40,965 He was becoming more and more dangerous, 119 00:05:40,965 --> 00:05:44,482 and he needed to be put in custody. 120 00:05:46,241 --> 00:05:48,068 [Lederboer] Mr. Harguindeguy is a convicted felon 121 00:05:48,068 --> 00:05:49,896 who is still showing a propensity 122 00:05:49,896 --> 00:05:51,758 to regularly possess firearms, 123 00:05:51,758 --> 00:05:53,137 so there's an inherent danger 124 00:05:53,137 --> 00:05:55,551 that he's at the school with a firearm. 125 00:05:55,551 --> 00:05:59,310 [Jones] He had several very serious warrants for his arrest. 126 00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:02,896 It had the potential to be a catastrophic event. 127 00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:04,758 [Ledeboer] I knew he had demonstrated 128 00:06:04,758 --> 00:06:07,275 a lack of cooperation with law enforcement. 129 00:06:07,275 --> 00:06:09,586 I knew Sal was not gonna respond to his summons 130 00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:11,517 to the courthouse to just turn himself in. 131 00:06:11,517 --> 00:06:14,379 [Jones] He's at a school, at a family event. 132 00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:18,344 Our biggest concern would be that he would involve innocents, 133 00:06:18,344 --> 00:06:21,241 in whatever his activity that took place, 134 00:06:21,241 --> 00:06:23,689 trying to get away from law enforcement. 135 00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:26,413 [Ledeboer] Being off-duty, I felt that the best route 136 00:06:26,413 --> 00:06:29,448 for me was to just relay to fully marked, 137 00:06:29,448 --> 00:06:31,000 fully visible police officers. 138 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,551 I did not believe it's in the best interests of the school 139 00:06:33,551 --> 00:06:35,103 or anybody's family, 140 00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:39,724 to make any overt action on my own. 141 00:06:39,724 --> 00:06:43,137 [Jones] I'm driving to the scene where Mr. Harguindeguy is, 142 00:06:43,137 --> 00:06:46,827 trying to coordinate both on radio and via phone 143 00:06:46,827 --> 00:06:49,482 with all the assets that we were going to need 144 00:06:49,482 --> 00:06:51,689 to do this as safely as possible. 145 00:06:57,103 --> 00:06:58,965 [Salazar] We park our vehicle on the street. 146 00:07:00,137 --> 00:07:02,103 It's me and Detective Ramirez. 147 00:07:02,103 --> 00:07:04,137 And we exit our vehicle 148 00:07:04,137 --> 00:07:06,448 and proceed to start walking into the school. 149 00:07:09,275 --> 00:07:11,482 [Jones over radio] 150 00:07:15,103 --> 00:07:17,586 [chatter inside school] 151 00:07:19,344 --> 00:07:22,241 [Jones] I parked to the west of the school on an access road. 152 00:07:23,379 --> 00:07:25,758 We were making final adjustments 153 00:07:25,758 --> 00:07:28,379 to where the perimeter units were. 154 00:07:28,379 --> 00:07:31,517 I knew Corporal Lopez was on his way in, 155 00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:35,344 and knew that Detective Salazar and Corporal Ramirez 156 00:07:35,344 --> 00:07:38,103 were in the parking lot, and were heading in. 157 00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:43,517 Corporal Lopez is one of our school resource officers. 158 00:07:43,517 --> 00:07:47,103 So he went in, and then his presence, I think, 159 00:07:47,103 --> 00:07:48,965 was the final straw for Harguindeguy. 160 00:07:48,965 --> 00:07:50,758 He saw a uniformed officer, 161 00:07:50,758 --> 00:07:53,965 and his instincts to run kicked in immediately. 162 00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:59,275 - [Jones over radio] - [chatter inside school] 163 00:08:05,344 --> 00:08:06,931 [officer speaking] 164 00:08:06,931 --> 00:08:08,379 [Salazar] As we're walking in, 165 00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:10,482 we maybe made it five or six paces 166 00:08:10,482 --> 00:08:11,931 before over the radio, 167 00:08:11,931 --> 00:08:15,068 somebody calls out that Salvador is running. 168 00:08:19,724 --> 00:08:23,517 [Jones] He just basically ran out the side door on the west side. 169 00:08:24,827 --> 00:08:27,344 Which means that he was coming in my direction. 170 00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:35,413 I started slowly rolling forward. 171 00:08:39,172 --> 00:08:41,758 And then he popped out. 172 00:08:41,758 --> 00:08:45,172 He immediately recognized the patrol vehicle coming at him, 173 00:08:45,172 --> 00:08:48,137 which caused Harguindeguy to change directions and flee. 174 00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:52,827 [Salazar] As I'm running back into my vehicle 175 00:08:52,827 --> 00:08:55,482 to get in, I'm thinking, "This sucks." 176 00:08:55,482 --> 00:08:58,965 And I'm thinking, "God, I hope he doesn't get away from us. 177 00:08:58,965 --> 00:09:02,275 I hope he doesn't find a crack to hide in, or something like that." 178 00:09:04,551 --> 00:09:06,413 [Jones] I turned with the anticipation 179 00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:09,137 that he would continue in one of two directions. 180 00:09:20,172 --> 00:09:22,724 I could see him off to the south, 181 00:09:22,724 --> 00:09:24,413 and he was at a dead run 182 00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:26,862 towards the four-foot perimeter fence 183 00:09:26,862 --> 00:09:29,827 of the school yard, which he vaulted over. 184 00:09:29,827 --> 00:09:31,620 And then he continued 185 00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,965 through a big, open construction area. 186 00:09:35,034 --> 00:09:37,965 My worst fear was that there was anybody 187 00:09:37,965 --> 00:09:40,689 that he may harm in the process of getting away. 188 00:09:42,965 --> 00:09:45,931 [Jones over radio] 189 00:09:52,965 --> 00:09:55,068 [Salazar] Sergeant Jones went right, and I went left. 190 00:09:55,068 --> 00:09:56,896 We were both looking for paths 191 00:09:56,896 --> 00:10:00,172 to come down that embankment, that drop-off. 192 00:10:00,172 --> 00:10:01,827 [police sirens wailing] 193 00:10:03,793 --> 00:10:05,448 He had changed directions, 194 00:10:05,448 --> 00:10:09,172 and was running towards a woman standing outside of a running car. 195 00:10:09,172 --> 00:10:10,655 [police siren wailing] 196 00:10:10,655 --> 00:10:13,034 [Jones speaking] 197 00:10:18,241 --> 00:10:21,689 I knew that he was going to try to access that vehicle and flee. 198 00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:26,482 He's running straight at her, at the open car door. 199 00:10:26,482 --> 00:10:30,310 And I had no idea what he was going to do to her, 200 00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,206
