LONG BEACH - After exchanging several rounds of gunshots, Santa Ana police officers on Wednesday shot and killed the man they suspected of shooting and critically wounding two Long Beach police officers.
Police officials say they believe the man is Oscar Gabriel Gallegos, 33, but his identity cannot be officially confirmed until after a coroner's inspection this morning.
"We do believe it's him based on the information we have, but it's not 100 percent," said Victor Standke, a spokesman for the Santa Ana Police Department.
The fatal shooting occurred when three SAPD officers followed the man believed to be Gallegos into a strip mall at 216 E. Warner Ave. LBPD officers, who were conducting surveillance of the suspect.

Cops protecting cops. This is a good thing. Law and order, in Santa Ana.
And no mashed potatoes and gravy either!
Whodathunk it? Santa Ana of all places...this is a GOOD thing!!! I'm SO proud of the cops...!!!
How's about we make a list of the crimes committed by illegal American's in Mexico?
Smite; smite not, but at least the Good Guys won one this time around for the Gipper. Give those men a cigar; they earned it: they gave him a slain ride together.
Prayers for the wounded officers' full recoveries, and kudos to Councilwoman Lowenthal & the donors, for ...Lowenthal said her [$75,000 reward fund] donors agreed to give all of the money to the Police Officers Association's Widow and Orphan Fund to help the families of the injured officers.
Seems appropriate.
That's just it - we have plenty of criminals of our own. We do not need to entice more of them into this country. Illegal aliens have demonstrated their contempt for our laws. Huge numbers of them are violent and demented. Their numbers alone constitute an invasion.
Are any Americans in the United States illegally?
You assert that huge numbers of them are violent and dimented. I'd like to see the documentation for that - a link?
You live out here???
I am glad you are a fan of St. Jude because if there ever was a hopeless cause, our illegal immigration mess is one (although we appear to be on different sides of this issue).
You keep praying to St. Jude and let the police do their job (although being murdered by illegals shouldn't be part of it).
MS-13 bump
There was one here on FR just a few days ago. I wish I had recorded the title that went into greater detail. Our area is infested with MS13 as well as with Asian home invasion gangs. Let's not forget the Russian Mafia - for some reason their outrageous acts have received relatively little attention. Numerous cases of pedophilia has been committed in our area by illegal aliens. There is trafficking in women and children. Human smugglers decapitated two children and yet the parents were uncooperative. The list goes on.
Just because you (or whosever identity you are using) have been around since 2003, doesn't mean you can't be zotted.
I lived the last 16 years in Houston, Texas. I now live in Indiana and the Mexican population is growing here - well over half a million last I heard. Why?
Didn't the mayor of Indianapolis declare he wanted more Mexicans to move to town?
We don't want them, we don't need them, and we will not have them here, period.. This is my "voting filter" and it is the first test for any candidate I'd consider voting for.
Why? Because if as you say, that population is growing there and you've NOT seen an increase in crime...violent crime...I don't know. We were lucky *cough* enough to get the gangs and you weren't???
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do. You can not condone bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior.
