LOS ANGELES (AP) — A gang member who was recently freed from jail killed his cousin and stole his car Monday then shot and killed a California police officer and wounded his partner before being wounded himself, authorities said.
Whittier Officer Keith Lane Boyer died and Officer Patrick Hazel was wounded when they answered a report of a traffic accident in the eastern Los Angeles County suburb.
A motorist pointed out the location of the car that had rear-ended his vehicle, and the officers approached the driver.
“When they get him out of the car, they go to pat him down for weapons, they can see he’s got tattoos all over his face and all over his neck,” county sheriff’s Lt. John Corina said. MORE
I read and reread the link. What became of the unnamed perp? Dead? Arrested? Still at large?
Hopefully dead. American citizen or alien? If later, legal or illegal?
Terribly written with lots of unanswered questions.
RIP Officer Boyer. That is all I know for sure. Yet another officer slain.
Thank you Jerry Brown for legislating the means by which this gang asshole was released.
Hey, it’s for the children, right?
Stupid, fucking democrat bleed-heart imbeciles.
@PHenry, suspect wounded but, unfortunately, not mortally wounded.
Damn.
@conserv cowgirl. You’re right. I forgot to reread sentence one, which was above photo. PHenry fail.
The Perp should have been wounded until the weapon’s magazine was empty. Show no mercy, get no mercy!
In the eyes of our Liberal Morons, this was totally the guns fault. Watch and see, the will use this to push more gun control in California.
I should like to see a law that works like this: If a paroled villain AFTER his release rapes, murders or steals the same will be carried out to the bureaucrat who released the criminal. Call it the “instant Karma Law”
A bureaucrat lets criminal X out on parole and criminal X murders then the bureaucrat has a family member executed. That way the only criminal’s that get released are the ones were there is a very high degree of confidence that they will not repeat offend.
Bureaucrats and politicians are too insulated from their decisions. They need to live the policies they enact.
Put the animal down.
Ooh, ooh, ooh…
Was the gangbanger in America legally? Because if he was a legal resident, that’s all that matters.
I lived there off of MarVista till I was 18, man that place was nice back then. Now not so much. Nixons home town gone to hell with gang bangers.
Early release? this guy should have been locked up forever just because he is a gang member. I stay away from Whittier-Pico and Los Angeles–heck even Pomona is a bad area where the LA county fair is.
RIP Hero
Thank you for your and your family’s sacrifice, Officer Boyer. May they, your coworkers and friends be comforted. May Officer Hazel recover in full.
As Bad_Brad said, they will attempt to make the firearm the culprit, not the worthless p.o.s. parolee that in addition to having killed Officer Boyer and wounding Officer Hazel, killed his cousin and stole his car. THE p.o.s. liberal/dems who created early release (after the voters passed the three strikes law in 1994) and AB 109 are to blame.
“Watch and see, the(y) will use this to push more gun control in California.”
Like they need a reason. The world spinning `round is reason enough for them.
