1 CHP Motor Officer Killed, 2 other Officers Wounded in Shootout on 215 Overpass in Riverside

[TheRiddler]

A California Highway Patrol officer was dead and two other CHP officers were wounded before fatally shooting a suspect in a gun battle near the 215 Freeway in Riverside Monday, officials said.

The suspect was driving a white GMC pickup when a lone CHP officer pulled him over on an overpass at Eucalyptus Avenue around 5:40 p.m., said CHP Inland Division Assistant Chief Scott Parker.

Police are investigating why the man was stopped in the first place, but the officer determined he needed to impound the truck. The officer had called for a tow truck and was filling out paperwork when the man went back into his pickup and pulled out a rifle, Parker said.

The officer killed went to the Academy with Officer Camilleri, who was killed the day before Christmas 2017.

And this is why after spending almost 6 years getting double majors and wanting to be a detective, I decided against it. Putting your life on the line every day is something that takes a stronger man than I.

Thank you officer Moye. You deserve a Hero's goodbye.
