An off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy has been fatally shot in an encounter with police officers at a Southern California golf course.
“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is deeply saddened to hear of the tragic shooting incident involving our off-duty deputy who passed away,” the department said in a statement. “This incident is extremely difficult for the family, our personnel, and the officers involved.
“The suspect was hit. He went down, he was treated by at the scene and transported to a local hospital in an unknown condition,” Romero said. NBC4 reported that a resident, Myesha Dowe, said the deputy lived in one of the homes surrounding the golf course and was a good neighbor. Dowe told the station she thought she heard fireworks but then started receiving messages from friends saying they heard shots and saw their neighbor armed and visibly distressed.
