SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — A former U.S. Air Force sergeant with ties to a violent antigovernment group stood before a federal judge on Friday and admitted to deliberately shooting and killing federal protective officer David Patrick Underwood and gravely wounding Underwood's partner during a protest in Oakland on May 29, 2020.

Underwood and his partner were guarding the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building as demonstrators marched through nearby streets to protest racial injustice in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by a Minneapolis police officer.

Short and paunchy in his red Santa Rita jail jumpsuit, Steven Carrillo, 33, read his plea agreement into the record at the behest of U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who said she hasn't decided whether to accept it.

“I deliberately and intentionally attacked the two federal officers,” Carrillo read, drawing sobs from Underwood’s family and friends who watched from the gallery. “I intended to kill the victims.”

Carrillo initially pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and attempted murder in July 2020.

The agreement required him to plead guilty to one count of using a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime resulting in death— a lesser offense than the first degree murder count with which he was initially charged— and one count of attempting to murder Underwood’s partner.

Notes: This fucker was ACTIVE DUTY when he committed these murders. I have a real problem with media identifying him as former when the only reason he's former is because he KILLED a cop. (This applies to when they say former officer when the reason they're former is because they KILLED someone).

This case is repeatedly cited by MAGATs as proof that BLM & Antifa killed cops during racial justice protests. Hey assholes....he was one of yours!
