OAKLAND (CBS 5 / AP / BCN):
SNIPPET: “The city of Oakland prepared to gather in grief Tuesday evening after a fourth police officer shot by a man wanted on a parole violation was taken off life support.
A major city thoroughfare, 74th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard, was set to be closed down for the 6 p.m. vigil at the street corner where Officer John Hege and another officer were shot Saturday during a traffic stop.
Hege was taken off life support Monday night and his heart, liver and kidneys removed, said Andrea Breaux of Alameda County Medical Center. The 41-year-old officer had been declared brain dead Sunday, but the hospital kept him on life support so his organs could be donated, in keeping with his wishes.”
SNIPPET: “Prison and court records show Mixon, 26, had served nearly five years in state prison for assault with a firearm during an armed robbery in San Francisco. More recently, he served several months in prison last year for a parole violation.
Mixon also was a suspect in a December 2007 murder but was never charged because of lack of evidence, officials said.”
