Video from a 215 Freeway overpass in the Riverside area appeared to show multiple California Highway Patrol officers injured as shots were fired Monday afternoon. Authorities could not immediately confirm details of the incident, but footage from a freelance photographer appears to show two officers on the ground near CHP vehicles.
Multiple gunshots and sirens can be heard after a Moreno Valley Police Department officer pulls a long gun from the back of his patrol car. He and other officers are positioned behind their vehicles with guns raised. Another officer then appears to drag one wounded officer along the pavement, away from the gunfire. Three officers load the wounded man into a Moreno Valley patrol car that pulls up.
“We need a tourniquet,” one of the officers can be heard saying.
Another uniformed officer appears to remain at the scene, on the ground, near a CHP motorcycle parked behind a white pickup truck. Several other officers carried the officer into a Riverside police helicopter that landed on the overpass.
Meanwhile, more officers surrounded the pickup truck with guns drawn.

Lemme guess - white supremacists with “assault rifles”. ?
Time to ban freeway overpasses.
Trumps tweets are making them crazy?
How horrible.
I hope the officers will be all right and they will get the criminal perp.
I would guess at least dozens of rounds fired as one of the CHP vehicles has probably seven or eight rounds in the windshield on the driver side alone.That certainly does not look good for the driver of that CHP vehicle.
California officers and suspect injured in Riverside gun battle

Hearing one officer is dead, and the suspect is dead. There are photos online that show the weapon is an ar15, which appears to have a 30 rd mag. But that can’t be, because 30 rd mags are illegal in California.

Can’t find the story anywhere else but here. Hmmm.....
As is transporting that rifle in an unlocked case with ammo near it... in California.
If only we had more laws this could have been prevented! /galactic sized sarcasm alert
In case anyone thinks that’s insensitive I’m praying for the officers but we’ve clearly reached a point where it is hard to even get down to the important stuff (worrying about the injured officers) when we know that before the doctors are done tending to the injured we will have politicians calling for gun bans again. Bans which only make problems like this one today worse because once no one is armed the only ones armed will be the really scary ones... like this guy and like the drug cartels that run Mexico. They aren’t allowed to own those guns either legally. But since no good guys have them the bad guys can run entire cities and not just one overpass.

That guy was a pretty good narrator. Had to interrupt the reporter when he started going on about a repo.
