The transcript of a Carver County 911 call is shedding new light on the officer involved shooting of 16-year-old Archer Amorosi outside his Chanhassen home on Friday.
Kara Amorosi, Archer's mother, made the call just before 10 a.m.
According to the BCA, once deputies arrived, they tried firing pepper spray and a Taser into the house to subdue Archer Amorosi, but they were unsuccessful. He then reportedly ran out the front door holding a hatchet and what appeared to be a handgun.
BCA investigators say deputies continued verbal commands and again deployed a Taser, but it was ineffective, and corporal Jacob Hodge and deputy Travis Larson then shot the teen.
Amorosi died at the scene, and investigators recovered a hatchet and a handgun-style BB-gun near his body.
Carver County records indicate officers have responded to the Amorosi home nine times, for various reasons, dating back to 2015. That includes the day before the shooting when family members described being concerned about Amorosi's mental health.
Personnel records show one of the sheriff's deputies involved in the fatal shooting had been disciplined four times, but also received seven performance awards.
Documents released Wednesday don't detail what led to the three suspensions and one written reprimand against Carver County Cpl. Jacob Hodge. But they list unpaid suspensions of 40 hours in 2010 and 84 hours in 2011.
Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud on Thursday declined to elaborate.
Hodge's awards include three for actions involving suicidal or mentally ill individuals. The other deputies involved have won awards but had no disciplinary actions.
