Andy Finch's father charged with attempted murder
Fresco, Ca - Cliff Finch, father of member of the U.S. Olympic snowboard team, was shot several times by Fresno police after officers say he shot at them. No officers were injured in the confrontation, but Finch was listed in critical condition Wednesday at Community Regional Medical Center suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Fresno's police chief expressed sympathy for the Finch family, but said his officers followed procedures and he is proud of how they handled this.
Cliff Finch is facing 2 counts of attempted murder of a police officer, 2 counts of assault of a police officer, and 1 count of felony evading. We don't know what caused Cliff Finch to snap, but his family says something suddenly triggered his bizarre behavior that lead to a shootout with police. They think it's related to his tour of duty in Vietnam.
Andy Finch returned from France late Tuesday night and saw his father for the first time Wednesday. He says he is not mad at the Fresno police department.
