That bullet was determined by FBI experts to have come from the CHP officer's rifle.

He was using a rifle in a confined space? Was this a dreaded AR he was using?

“He was using a rifle in a confined space? Was this a dreaded AR he was using?”

Probably. It is rare that one sees an LEO deploying a shotgun on any of the myriad of cop shows. Why is that I wonder? The trusty 12 bore is much safer to use at close range due to the risk of overpenetration with rifle rounds. It is unlikely that buckshot would have penetrated that officer’s vest. But of course, an AR-15 looks sexier and shotguns have recoil.
