Christopher George Louk

Deadly force

A deputy spotted Louk, who was a suspect in several bank robberies, in a parking lot. Three law enforcement vehicles, one possibly Marysville Police Department, chased Louk's SUV at high speeds. Witnesses to the chase claim bullets were being fired and that they heard a crash as Louk's other became stuck in a railroad track. Investigators claim that at that point Louk refused to surrender, and that gunfire was exchanged. Two Yuba County deputies shot at Louk's truck, killing him. Investigators also claim the fatal injury was "possibly self-inflicted."
