The California sheriff's deputy who launched an expensive, citywide manhunt for the sniper who shot him in his own station's parking lot made up the entire incident, police said late Saturday.
Angel Reinosa, who is still a trainee with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Lancaster station, said he had been shot in the shoulder of his bulletproof vest while making his way to his car Wednesday. He announced over his radio in dramatic fashion he had been shot by someone in the apartment building next to the parking lot.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department immediately mobilized a large-scale operation to look for the suspect, even flying in a helicopter with a police sniper patrolling the skies.
It was all fake, L.A. County Homicide Capt. Kent Wegener said at a press conference.

One bad apple......
Oops
My friends let me tell you something that will make many of you uncomfortable: cops lie.
This kid was only 21 years old probably trying to make a name for himself what a LOSER how the HELL did he get past the psychological exam???
I have seen a lot of “career and resume enhancing in corrections.”
A superintendent of a state youth corrections facility said he could fly Sacrament to Ontario 1 hour because he was helicopter pilot in nam and suffered trauma.
He took a car everywhere 400 mile drives. Turns out he had a woman in Paso Robles about half way.
After he reused and went to see his ex in Oregon, a friend of mine. She said in nam he never got past Oahu and there was treason he wanted to drive on state time to visit Sanchita.
Obviously a Democrat.
COULDN’T FLY 1 HOUR
“... cops lie.”
All the time, and they definitely are not your friend.
Maybe the psych exam is the problem?
Like Hillary sniper fire?
Rookie.
An affirmative action hire ?
At least the cops who were searching for the “sniper” didn’t shoot any innocent citizens by mistake. A guy coming home from work with a broom over his shoulder...in poor light that broom could be mistaken for a sniper rifle, right?
And evidently no dogs were shot either.
So it could have been worse.
This is SWATTING to the extreme. There better be some serious charges.
Just like the one in Birmingham.....................
All. The. Time.
Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris held an emotional press conference the day of the shooting in which he said, "The only reason that deputy is alive is because he had his vest on."
Let's all run out and get "thin blue line" flags for our pickup trucks.
Just like the one in Birmingham.....................
I was trying to remember where I heard this same story recently...
Practically identical situation!.............
