Man who lost leg in California police shooting wins $5 million, while in prison

Anaheim will pay $5 million to a man who sued the city after losing his leg following a 2020 police shooting that came about after the man broke into a home and tried to run away from police.

Raul Sanchez, now 26 and imprisoned at Kern Valley State Prison, was shot three times while trying to evade arrest, sustaining injuries that eventually resulted in his leg being amputated. Sanchez pleaded guilty last year to a felony burglary charge and misdemeanors connected to the 2020 incident. He was sentenced to two years in state prison.
