San Antonio police officer fired after shooting teen in McDonald's parking lot

A Texas police officer who shot and wounded a teenager who had been sitting in his car eating a hamburger has been fired, police said.

San Antonio Officer James Brennand was fired after shooting Erik Cantu, 17, on Oct. 2 in a McDonald's parking lot, police training commander Alyssa Campos said in a video statement released Wednesday, which included the officer's bodycam footage of the incident. 

Brennand had responded to an unrelated disturbance at the McDonald's when he saw the Cantu inside the car, which had evaded him a day earlier, Campos said.
