SAPD officers said they were dispatched to a call regarding a woman waving a handgun in the air around 6 p.m. in the 2800 block of Babcock Road.

When police arrived, they found Janelle Harris, 38, holding a gun, the report stated. According to bodycam footage released by police Friday, the officers on the scene identified themselves as police and asked Harris to put her weapon down.

“Can you drop the gun?” one of the SAPD officers asked Harris in the bodycam footage.

“F--- no,” Harris responded, according to the video.

After the officers asked her to put her weapon down a few more times in the bodycam footage, and she refused, Harris threatened the officers.

“How about I pop you in the head? What you (sic) think about that?” Harris told the officers in the bodycam video.

After one of the officers asked her to drop her weapon another time, and she refused, she told the officers, with their weapons aimed at her, to “Do it.”

SAPD officer Jaren Falcon, who has been employed with the department for four months, fired his weapon once at Harris, SAPD said.

Authorities later discovered that Harris’ weapon was an airsoft gun.

Harris was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, as well as separate obstruction and retaliation charges.
