Jacki Johnson... hehe. No, not yet.
Geez...that was embarrassing!
Shush, Karl. :)
SANTA ANA, Calif. A man has been killed in an officer-involved shooting in a strip mall parking lot in Santa Ana.
Authorities say Santa Ana police were assisting Long Beach police who were surveilling a possible suspect involved in last week's shooting of two Long Beach officers when the suspect opened fire.
Santa Ana police Sergeant Lorenzo Carrillo says three Santa Ana officers returned fire, striking the suspect numerous times. He died at the scene. Officials are awaiting identification from the coroner.
Oscar Gallegos is wanted on suspicion of attempted murder in Friday's shooting of Long Beach officers Roy Wade and Abe Yap. Police say the officers remain hospitalized in critical but stable condition.
KESQ
OCRegister and LB Press-Telegram carrying same info.
Thank you!!!
Harold Green: OSCAR GALLEGOS IS DEAD...!!! Or, is it him?
Interview with Santa Ana SGT Lorenzo Carrillo .... Suspect was spotted walking the street in Santa Ana. Shot. No one else was injured. Police also detained another man for questioning, may have been driver last Friday.
Body is still in the strip mall parking lot... Coroner has just arrived .... ???!!!!
Yep. Pretty much it!
Suspect seen by Long Beach PD who were tailing him, they called in SAPD for backup. Gallegos made eye contact with either SAPD or LBPD and started shooting.
He's dead, Jim. Provided it's Gallegos. SOME bad guy's dead, this is for sure...
Sweet, now I can go to bed.
.......with a big ole smile on your face.
Stupid freaks shooting at police. How dumb can you be.
More like "how evil"
That too...for sure.
excellent
It is "very possible" the man shot in Santa Ana is the one who shot police in Long Beach.
We will not know definitely until tomorrow, after Coroner's tests and ballistics tests.
(What kind of tests... making sure he's really DAID?)
Th-th-th-that's all, folks....
Apparrently, the officers "returned fire" so the dead guy was a thug and got what he deserved.
Thanks for the updates. I hope you can remember to ping me tomorrow, or once the dead guy has been officially identitifed.
This was AWESOME and very happy news last night!! Best thing that could have happened to him! The officers have their justice and we don't have to spend $ on trying the #$%^@@.
