Police in Fresno, Calif., say that a Roosevelt High School sophomore who attacked an officer with a sawed-off bat wanted to die. Jesus "Jesse" Carrizales, 17, 220 pounds and 6 feet 2 inches tall, attacked officer Junus Perry without provocation. Police say he snuck up behind Perry and struck him in the head with a sawed-off baseball bat. Perry, who received stitches to close a 2-inch gash on the right side of his head, shot Carrizales in the chest.The teen then told Perry: "Go ahead and kill me." But Carrizales' family says he was not suicidal and had been responding well to antidepressant medications that he began taking in January.
