How they died
Deadly force
Deputies shot Joshua Shoop when he emerged from a garage with a gun following a standoff. Shortly after midnight, Whittier police tried to stop a SUV reported stolen in Colorado. Shoop reportedly fled and the chase was canceled. A sheriff's deputy saw the SUV a short time later near Washington and Norwalk boulevards. The SUV crashed through a fence and Shoop and a woman got out and opened fire on officers. Shoop and the woman then barricaded themselves inside a garage. According to officials, at least one shot was fired at officers during the standoff. The woman surrendered at about 4:30 a.m. Just before 7 a.m., Shoop emerged from the garage holding a gun and deputies shot him, killing him.
