SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - A police officer shot a robbery suspect Monday (15.05.06) after he allegedly rammed a patrol car with a stolen vehicle.
The suspect, whose name was not immediately released, is in critical condition at a hospital police refused to identify, officer Enrique Garcia said. The officer whose car was rammed was treated for minor injuries and then released. Garcia declined to name the officers involved.
Police tried to stop the suspect early Monday morning when they noticed he was actually driving a stolen car linked to several robberies, including a home invasion in which a 74-year-old woman was locked in a room and threatened with a handgun.
The driver fled and was shot after slamming into a police car. A gun was also found in the suspect's vehicle, police said.
The officer who fired the shots would be placed on routine administrative leave pending an investigation of the incident.

My understanding is the kid the police shot was only 19 years old. They shot him like 9 times and he barely lived. He's apparently been in a jail hospital and is paralyzed and after one year still hasn't been sentenced. What's going on with this case?
