Sand City, CA.
Two officers were shot in Sand City outside the Target shopping center.
It appears there were two gunmen. Shots were fired during a confrontation.
Four people were shot, including two police officers and the two suspected gunmen.
The victims were immediately sent to a nearby hospital.
According to Monterey District Attorney Dean Flippo, the two suspected gunmen are dead.
The two police officers have non-life threatening injuries and are expected to make a full recovery.
The Target store is now closed.
I’m sure the gunmen were black and unarmed.
“Honor students”...
BLM terrorists?
Hispanic in that area.
Probably ghetto Illegals that came from nearby Salinas which is gang-infested. Nortenos/Surenos.
Jeb’s favorite Dreamers.
They were just in the store buying ice tea and skittles and were on their way to church when these officers started shooting them because they were members of a protected minority.
Some of the bullets ricocheted back and hit the officers after the young innocent unarmed kids were already dead. It was then that the police planted guns and drugs on them.
It will probably go down like that.
Are they, Nortenos/Surenos, associated in any way with Near Eastern terrorists?
Swedes ?

Sand City >> Police officers fatally shot two people in a gunfight in the parking lot of a Target store in Sand City’s Edgewater Shopping Center on Monday.
Around 3:30 p.m., two Sand City police officers attempted to serve warrants on two people when the suspects opened fire on the officers, police said. Both officers were wounded and both suspects were killed, Sand City Police Chief Brian Ferrante and District Attorney Dean Flippo announced in a joint media briefing Monday afternoon at the scene.
“After the officers confronted them, the suspects opened fire,” said Ferrante. “Both officers injured were transported to the hospital via ambulance and are in stable condition.”
Bouchra Gygax, a student at Monterey Peninsula College, was trying to find parking at the shopping center off Highway 1 when she saw two policemen holding up a third man and the foot of another person sticking out of a car in front of them.
“While I was waiting people started pulling out their phones and somebody said, ‘The cop got shot and he shot back,’” Gygax said.
The scene quickly became chaotic, she said, as she saw patrol cars and ambulances coming from everywhere.
“It was crazy,” she said.
Ferrante requested the DA’s Bureau of Investigation conduct the investigation.
“We now have 15 investigators that are involved in gathering evidence both here” and at Natividad Medical Center, said Flippo.
Officers from Seaside, Marina, Monterey, the California Highway Patrol and the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office aided Sand City police at the scene. No further information was released on the two suspects pending notification of next of kin.
Ferrante said the officers knew the suspects and knew they had outstanding warrants.
“Fortunately no innocent bystanders were involved,” Ferrante said.
Though Target was closed in the wake of the shooting, the other 20 or so businesses in the shopping center stayed open.

‘Bouchra Gygax,’, what the h-ll kind of name is that? It sounds like a character in Star Trek. We are now getting dreamers from places that one can’t even figure out where they are from.
” ‘Bouchra Gygax,’, what the h-ll kind of name is that?”
Gary Gygax invented Dungeons and Dragons. This is the only other person I’ve heard of with that name. According to wiki his father was from Switzerland.
Bouchra means “good news” in Arabic.
Gygax seems to be rooted in Switzerland. Fwiw, the guy who started Dungeons and Dragons, Gary Gygax , was of Swiss ancestry.
One website listed Switzerland with 75% of all people with the name Gygax, followed with the USA with 15%. Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium and Guatemala, with approximately 3 %.
Numbers exceed 100%, but what the heck.
ROFL ROFL
Well the “good news” is that the scumbags are dead =)
Fifteen investigators for one shooting. These gang thugs are a goldmine for the criminal justice system's public employee unions: cops, guards, bailiffs, translators, public defenders, social workers, parole officers, bilingual remedial educators...
No wonder Commander Xero lets them out of prison.
You left out their planet of origin, Galax, in the Delta Quadrant.
You need to go back and see “Voyager” again.
Or, in the alternative, Galax, Virginia, the home of a famous fiddle/banjo competition. I’m not sure if the original inhabitants of that town were born on this planet or not. Sort of like “Deliverance” meets “Invaders from Mars”.
