Aguilar was being pinned down by two deputies and a civilian, as the officers struggled to handcuff him, when one of the officers yelled out 'He's got a gun! Shoot him!'
Another officer raised their gun and shot Aguilar in the head.
Incredibly, Aguilar survived the shooting and is now recovering in jail. His bail is set at nearly $2.3 million.
The incident began at around 10pm on January 19 at a Lake Forest Walmart when a store security guard called 911 to report that Aguilar and a woman he identified as his wife were planning to steal using a 'fake' Walmart+ receipt.
It is unclear why the store detective believed this as they had not viewed the receipt and Aguilar was in line at the checkout holding cash when the police arrived.
They say they were in store to buy their children toys and diapers.

Officers struggled to control Aguilar as he wrestled with them on the ground. It took three deputies and a civilian to get him on the ground

Ernesto Paul Aguilar, 30, of Santa Ana, (pictured) was shot at point blank range at a Wake Forest Walmart on January 19 around 10pm after he was accused of stealing and officers found a knife and gun on him
The officers approached the pair in the checkout line and asked them to leave 'peacefully' before one of the deputies told Aguilar: 'Why are you doing this? You're like 40 years old and you're still stealing, dude? Get a job, let's go.'
Aguilar and his wife insisted that they were there to make a legal purchase, and had cash in hand. They added they had never been to that Walmart location.
The deputy told them that they were not going to be arrested for shoplifting but they were going to be charged with trespassing so they would not be allowed to return.
As they made their way through the door of the store, another deputy informed his colleague that Aguilar had 'got a knife.'
Aguilar reached calmly for the weapon to which the first deputy told him to 'get your f**king hand off the knife' and to 'get the f**k out of the store.'
He then changed his mind and told Aguilar to 'put his hand behind back' and began to handcuff him. Aguilar began to struggle and yelled out to the woman he was with.
Deputy 1 and 3 are seen standing in the Walmart after the shooting as Deputy 2 reported the shooting to superiors
'You're going to put you in handcuffs, because I don't know if you have other weapons,' Deputy 2 told him. 'If you fight, we're going to get on the ground. I'm promising you right now that you're not going to win this fight.'
Two officers struggled to handcuff Aguilar before slamming him into a display of water bottles.

I mean…
That "civilian" should be exposed.
