Authorities say a Southern California sheriff’s deputy has been shot and killed during a traffic stop.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department says the deputy pulled over a vehicle just before 2 p.m. Thursday in the city of Jurupa Valley.
Mayor Chris Barajas said in a Facebook post the deputy and suspect both died. Sheriff Chad Bianco plans to hold a press conference later Thursday. Multiple TV news reports showed the driver leading police on a high-speed chase along several freeways. The chase ended when a sheriff’s armored truck rammed the fleeing pickup and pinned it on an embankment. TV reports showed bullet holes in the windshield.I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department on the tragic loss of one of their own. My thoughts are with the deputy’s family, friends, and fellow deputies during this difficult time.
