He won't do that again, will he?
"Lunsford called 911 to report that a person he called his boyfriend, George, was suicidal and high on cocaine and heroin, Lt. Randy Dobbins said.
Police interviewed Lunsford's girlfriend Thursday. She told police Lunsford wasn't gay.
Thursday's shooting may have been Lunsford's second attempt to ambush police officers, Dyer said: Lunsford called police Oct. 13 to report something suspicious and was sitting on his balcony when police arrived at his home at 3655 W. San Jose Ave.
That night, nothing happened.
Early Thursday, when officers Messick and Shipman arrived, Lunsford was standing on his balcony, unarmed. He told officers his boyfriend was inside on the first floor and that the suicidal man was scared.
He tossed a set of keys down to the officers, inviting them inside his gate. They let themselves in, and walked about 15 feet to Lunsford's front door. Then, as one officer put the key in the door, Lunsford leaned from his balcony and opened fire on the officers from behind, Dyer said."
Additional information was that he was on probation out of Bakersfield for a DUI and he was facing a demotion from supervisor at his job, and he took it pretty hard.
