Yale Police officer under investigation after shooting into vehicle

The Office of Inspector General has released video footage documenting an officer-involved shooting involving Yale Police Officer Ancil Farrier in New Haven. The incident occurred on a Wednesday morning in a parking lot owned by the New Haven Lawn Club.

Officers responded to a call regarding an emotionally disturbed person and found a 48-year-old man inside a locked vehicle who was expressing suicidal intent. Video shows Farrier firing two shots into the windows of the white SUV. While the man was not hit by gunfire, he was treated at Yale New Haven Hospital for self-inflicted stab wounds.

The Inspector General’s office is currently investigating Farrier’s decision to discharge his weapon into the vehicle.
